Supporting efficient noncontiguous access in PVFS over Infiniband
2003
Proceedings IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing CLUSTR-03
We have designed and incorporated this approach in a version of PVFS over InfiniBand. ...

Noncontiguous locking techniques for parallel file systems
2007
Proceedings of the 2007 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing - SC '07
We implement our scalable distributed lock manager (DLM) in the PVFS parallel file system and show that these techniques improve locking throughput over a naive noncontiguous locking approach by several ...

Scalable I/O forwarding framework for high-performance computing systems
2009
2009 IEEE International Conference on Cluster Computing and Workshops
POSIX requires extensions to enable efficient noncontiguous I/O. ...
Whereas ZOIDFS can describe noncontiguous I/O in a single function call, POSIX-based ROMIO drivers have to take less efficient approaches, such as data sieving [28] . ...

AHPIOS: An MPI-Based Ad Hoc Parallel I/O System
2008
2008 14th IEEE International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Systems
PVFS [15] is an open source parallel file system that targets the efficient access to large data sets. AHPIOS can be used alternatively to these parallel file systems. ...
AH-PIOS virtualizes on-demand available distributed storage resources and allows the files to be striped over several storage devices. ...
The communication inside the file systems and in the MPICH2 was done with TCP/IP sockets over Infiniband. ...
