Abstract: A majority of parallel applications obtain parallelism by partitioning data over multiple processors. Accessing distributed data structures like arrays from files often requires each processor to make a large number of small non-contiguous data requests. This problem can be addressed by replacing small noncontiguous requests by large collective requests. This approach, known as Collective I/O, has been found to work extremely well in practice [BdC93, Kot96, SCJ + 95]. In this paper, we... (Update)
