SFIO a striped file I/O library for MPI
2001
Eighteenth IEEE Symposium on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies and 9th NASA Goddard Conference on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies
This paper presents the design and evaluation of a Striped File I/O (SFIO) library for parallel I/O within an MPI environment. We present techniques for optimizing communications and disk accesses for small striping factors. Using MPI derived datatype capabilities, we transmit fragmented data over the network by single MPI transfers. We present the I/O performance of the SFIO library on DEC Alpha clusters, both for the Fast Ethernet and for the TNET communication networks.
