Language, Compiler and Parallel Database Support for I/O Intensive Applications

摘要

Automatic mapping of I/O intensive applications on massively parallel systems is a challenging problem of great importance. This paper proposes a novel solution to the I/O problem. First, Fortran language extensions are introduced that support highly efficient I/O processing. Second, we specify the appropriate compilation method that utilizes an advanced runtime system called VIPIOS that is designed on the basis of parallel database technology. We present this proposal in the context of Vienna Fortran and its compiler.
