Jovian: a Framework for Optimizing Parallel I/O
Robert Bennett, Kelvin Bryant, Alan Sussman, Raja Das, Joel Saltz,Proceedings of the 1994 Scalable Parallel Libraries Conference, Oct 1994.
Abstract:
There has been a great deal of recent interest in
parallel I/O. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of
the Jovian library, which is intended to optimize the I/O performance
of multiprocessor architectures that include multiple disks or disk arrays.
We also present preliminary performance measurements from benchmarking the
Jovian I/O library on the IBM SP1 distributed memory parallel machine for
two application templates.
