Description

Feiyi Wang, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, presents: "An Introduction to High-Performance Parallel I/O

Abstract: Parallel data management is a complex problem at large-scale HPC environments. The HPC I/O stack can be viewed as a multi-layered cake and presents an high-level abstraction to the scientists. While this abstraction shields the users from many of the I/O system details, it is very hard to obtain parallel I/O performance or functionality without understanding the end-to-end hierarchical I/O stack in today’s modern complex HPC environments. This talk will introduce the basic parallel I/O concepts and will provide guidelines on obtaining better I/O performance on large-scale parallel platforms.
