Reference Implementation of Scalable I/O Low-Level API on Intel Paragon

The Scalable I/O (SIO) Initiative's Low-Level Application Pro- gramming Interface (SIO LLAPI)provides file system implementers with a simplelow-Level interface to support high-level parallel I/O interfaces efficiently and ef fectively. This paper describes a reference implementation and the evaluation of the SIO LLAPI on the Intel Paragon multicomputer. The implementation provides the file system structure and striping algorithm compatible with the Parallel File System (PFS) of Intel Paragon, and runs eithe…
