TPIE (Transparent Parallel I/O Environment)

Abstract

TPIE, a transparent parallel I/O environment, is designed to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of parallel I/O systems. It is intended to demonstrate that a parallel I/O system can do all of the following simultaneously: Abstract away the details of how I/O is performed so that programmers need only deal with a simple high level interface; Implement I/O-optimal paradigms for large scale computation that are efficient not only in theory, but also in practice; Remain flexible, allowing programmers to specify the functional details of computation taking place within the supported paradigms. This will allow a wide variety of algorithms to be implemented within the system; Be portable across a variety hardware platforms. Be extensible, so that new features can be easily added later. TPIE is implemented as a set of templated classes and functions in C++. It also includes a small library and a set of test and sample applications.
