PIOUS

Abstract

PIOUS is a complete Parallel I/O System for the PVM 3 distributed computing environment. Just as PVM implements a virtual multicomputer on top of a heterogeneous network of computing resources, PIOUS implements a fully functional parallel file system on top of PVM. PVM applications obtain transparent access to shared permanent storage via PIOUS library functions. PIOUS is intended to serve both as a platform for supporting high-performance parallel applications, and as a vehicle for parallel file system research.
