Parallel I/O plays an increasingly important role in today’s data intensive computing applications. While much attention has been paid to parallel read performance, most of this...
Many parallel scientific applications need high-performance I/O. Unfortunately, end-to-end parallel-I/O performance has not been able to keep up with substantial improvements in p...
