PASSION - Parallel And Scalable Software for Input-Output

Abstract

At Syracuse University, we consider the I/O problem from a language, compiler and runtime support point of view. We are developing a compiler and runtime support system called PASSION: Parallel And Scalable Software for Input-Output. PASSION software support is targeted for I/O intensive out-of -core loosely synchronous problems. The PASSION Runtime Library provides routines to efficiently perform the I/O required in out-of-core programs. The goal of the PASSION compiler is to translate out-of-core programs written in a data-parallel language like High Performance Fortran (HPF) to node programs with calls to the PASSION Runtime Library for I/O. Other components of the PASSION project include a Portable Parallel File System (VIP-FS), integrating task and data parallelizm using parallel I/O and file servers for multimedia applications.
