Using Passion System On Lu Factorization, Haluk Rahmi Topcuoglu, Alok Choudhary Nov 1995

Using Passion System On Lu Factorization, Haluk Rahmi Topcuoglu, Alok Choudhary

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports

Parallel I/0 subsystems are added to massively parallel computers in order to lessen I/0 bottleneck to some extent. Up to now, a few number of parallel software systems have been designed and implemented to assist programmers in I/0 intensive applications; PASSION is one of them. By providing parallel I/0 support at the language, compiler and run-time level, PASSION system explores the large design space of parallel systems. The target of this paper is to show the performance benefits of using PASSION I/0 libraries at runtime in comparison with using conventional parallel I/0 primitives for high performance parallel I/0 in LU …

We are developing a runtime library which provides a number of routines to perform the I/O required in parallel applications in an efficient and convenient manner. This is part of a project called PASSION, which aims to provide software support for high-performance parallel I/O at the compiler, runtime and file system levels. The PASSION Runtime Library uses a high-level interface which makes it easy for the user to specify the I/O required in the program. The user only needs to specify what portion of the data structure needs to read from or written to the file, and the PASSION routines …
