Issues in Compiling I/O Intensive Problems

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: The Kluwer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 362))

Abstract

It has been widely acknowledged in high-performance computing circles that input/output (I/O) needs substantial improvement in order to make scalable computers truly usable. Many users see parallelism in I/O as the best way to improve the I/O performance. Recent surveys [12] of I/O needs of parallel applications have determined that their I/O requirements fall into following categories: (1) Initial/intermediate/final I/O, (2) Out-of-core Computations, (2) Checkpointing and Restart and (4) Real-time I/O. In order to improve the overall I/O performance, one or more of these requirements need tobe addressed.
