A Parallel I/O System for High-Performance Distributed Computing
Steven A. Moyer, Vaidy S Sunderam · Birkhäuser Basel eBooks · 1994
PIOUS is a parallel file system architecture for providing process groups access to permanent storage within a heterogeneous network computing environment. PIOUS supports parallel application development by providing coordinated access to parafile file objects with guaranteed consistency semantics and a dynamically-selectable fault tolerance level. For performance, PIOUS declusters files to exploit the combined file I/O and buffer cache capacities of multiple interconnected computer systems.
