As computing breaches petascale limits both in processor performance and storage capacity, the only way that current and future gains in performance can be achieved is by increasi...
Abstract—Today’s computational science demands have resulted in ever larger parallel computers, and storage systems have grown to match these demands. Parallel file systems us...
