I/O and file systems for data-intensive applications

Abstract

Largecany other knowledge discoveries. During the evolution of parallel computing, it forms two major camps: high-performance computing (or Supercomputing) and cloud computing. HPC is computing-oriented and the typical applications are scientific simulation, numerical computation, and etc. They rely on low-latency networks for message passing and use parallel programming paradigms such as MPI to enable parallelism [1]. Cloud computing is usually data-processing-oriented and the typical framework is designed for large-scale batch data processing.
