Abstract: As the PC cluster has grown in popularity as a parallel computing platform, the demand for system software for this platform has grown as well. One common piece of system software available for many commercial parallel machines is the parallel le system. Parallel le systems o er higher I/O performance than single disk or RAID systems, provide users with a convenient and consistent name space across the parallel machine, support physical distribution of data across multiple disks and network...

...data this solution is not practical. To deal with this problem we incorporated parallel I O. Tests of CERSe were also run using PVFS [11, 12], a parallel file system for Beowulf clusters developed at the Parallel Architecture Research Laboratory at Clemson University. PVFS...

.... clusters can stripe data among the nodes of a cluster so that potential bandwidth is increased and network bottlenecks are minimized [21, 2]. Therefore, a Beowulf cluster provides accessibility to many classes of users, large high performance data storage, and a fast...
