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...
There are two popular parallel I/O programming styles used by modern scientific computational applications: unique-file and shared-file. Unique-file I/O usually gives satisfactory ...

Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
Parallel I/O needs to keep pace with the demand of high performance computing applications on systems with ever-increasing speed. Exploiting high-end interconnect technologies to ...
In this paper we analyze the I/O access patterns of a widely-used biological sequence search tool and implement two variations that employ parallel-I/O for data access based on PV...
