Parallel File Systems for the IBM SP Computers
Parallel computer architectures require innovative software solutions to utilize their capabilities. This is true for system software no less than for application programs. File system development for the IBM SP product line started with the Vesta research project, which introduced the ideas of parallel access to partitioned files. This technology was then integrated with a conventional AIX env...
متن کاملMeet Jensen Unic's Ibm Sp Parallel Computer
This guide is intended to help users get started using the IBM SP distributed memory parallel processor, JENSEN, at UNI C for writing parallel programs. Since the last upgrade in January 1999 the system has a total of 100 processors, called nodes, each with its own local memory. Four of these nodes are for interactive use, 12 belong to a pool for parallel test jobs, 64 are reserved for parallel...
متن کاملPerformance of the IBM General Parallel File System
We measure the performance and scalability of IBM’s General Parallel File System (GPFS) under a variety of conditions. The measurements are based on benchmark programs that allow us to vary block sizes, access patterns, etc., and to measure aggregate throughput rates. We use the data to give performance recommendations for application development and as a guide to the improvement of parallel fi...
متن کاملRAMA: a file system for massively-parallel computers
This paper describes a file system design for massively parallel computers which makes very efficient use of a few disks per processor. This overcomes the traditional I/O bottleneck of massively parallel machines by storing the data on disks within the high-speed interconnection network. In addition, the file system, called RAMA, requires little inter-node synchronization, removing another comm...
متن کاملThe IBM External User Interface for Scalable Parallel Systems
The IBM External User Interface (EUI) for scalable parallel systems is a parallel programming library designed for the IBM line of scalable parallel computers. The rst computer in this line, the IBM 9076 SP1, was announced in February 1993. This paper examines several aspects of the design and development of the EUI.
