A static analysis of I/O characteristics of scientific applications in a production workload
Barbara K. Pasquale, George C. Polyzos · 1993
Past research on high performance computers for scientific applications has concentrated on CPU speed and exploitation of parallelism, but has, until very recently, neglected 1/0 considerations.This paper presents a study of the production workload at the San Diego Supercomputer Centerfrom an 110 requirements and characteristics perspective.Results of our analyses support our hypothesis that a significant proportion of 110 intensive, long running, frequently executed scientific applications have predictable 110 requirements.Pemnission to copy Wbcut fee all or pm of this material is granted, provided that th copes am nci made or distributed for &red commercial advantage, the ACM copyright mice and the title of the Wblication and its date appear, and notice is given that ccpying is by penmsmon of the Association for Cbm@ng Mec+mte~.To copy othemvise, or to repubhsh, reqlires a fee andlar specWc psrtnission.
