MPI provides a portable message passing interface for many parallel execution platforms but may lead to inefficiencies for some platforms and applications. In this article we sho...
Many applications of parallel I/O perform non-contiguous file accesses: instead of accessing a single (large) block of data in a file, a number of (smaller) blocks of data scatt...
Abstract. Current approaches to parallel I/O demand extensive user effort to obtain acceptable performance. This is in part due to difficulties in understanding the characteristics...
