Abstract: The significant difference between the speeds of the I/O system (e.g. disks) and compute processors in parallel systems creates a bottleneck that lowers the performance of an application that does a considerable amount of disk accesses. A major portion of the compute processors' time is wasted on waiting for I/O to complete. This problem can be addressed to a certain extent, if the necessary data can be fetched from the disk before the I/O call to the disk is issued. Fetching data ahead of... (Update)

...Prefetching A typical application of prefetching is shown in Figure 10. Prefetching has been shown to hide the I O latency significantly in [1], 14] HF is iterative in nature with computation and I O part of each iteration and hence lends itself well to pipelined prefetch...
