Multiple-Level MPI File Write-Back and Prefetching for Blue Gene Systems
This paper presents the design and implementation of an asynchronous data-staging strategy for file accesses based on ROMIO, the most popular MPI-IO distribution, and ZeptoOS, an ...

Implementing Cooperative Prefetching and Caching in a Globally-Managed Memory System
This paper presents cooperative prefetching and caching — the use of network-wide global resources (memories, CPUs, and disks) to support prefetching and caching in the presence...

Competitive Parallel Disk Prefetching and Buffer Management
We provide a competitive analysis framework for online prefetching and buffer management algorithms in parallel I/O systems, using a read-once model of block references. This has ...

A Simple and Efficient Parallel Disk Mergesort
External sorting--the process of sorting a file that is too large to fit into the computer's internal memory and must be stored externally on disks--is a fundamental subroutin...

Improving the System Performance by a Dynamic File Prediction Model
As the speed gap between CPU and I/O is getting wider and wider, I/O latency plays a more important role to the overall system performance than it used to be. Prefetching consecut...
