Abstract

In this study, the authors propose a simple performance model to promote a better integration between the parallel I/O middleware layer and parallel file systems. They show that application-specific data layout optimization can improve overall data access delay considerably for many applications. Implementation results under MPI-IO middleware and PVFS2 file system confirm the correctness and effectiveness of their approach, and demonstrate the potential of data layout optimization in petascale data storage.
