Abstract: A significant weakness of many existing parallel supercomputers is their lack of high-performance parallel I/O. This weakness has prevented, in many cases, the full exploitation of the true potential of MPP systems. As part of a joint project with IBM, we have designed a parallel I/O system for an IBM SP system that can provide sustained I/O rates of greater than 160 MB/s from collections of compute nodes to archival disk and peak transfer rates that should exceed 400 MB/s from compute nodes to ...

.... of the present generation parallel machines that provide such a system are the Intel Paragon, Thinking Machines CM 5 [1] and IBM SP 1 [5]. Both the Paragon and the CM 5 provide a special UNIX file system that gives applications high speed access to the parallel I O system....
...using low level functions offered by operating systems. Even if a parallel I O library or system is used (for example, [4 9, 14, 17, 19 22, 25, 27 29, 34, 37]) the application de 2 veloper specifies the parallel I O by using a package of specially designed parallel I O...
