Abstract:

I/O is probably the most limiting factor on high-end machines for large scale parallel applications as of today. This paper introduces OMPIO, a new parallel I/O architecture for Open MPI. OMPIO provides a highly modular approach to parallel I/O by separating I/O functionality into smaller units (frameworks) and an arbitrary number of modules in each framework. Furthermore, each framework has a cus- tomized selection criteria that determines which module to use depending on the functionality of the framework as well as external parameters.
