We present a comprehensive survey on parallel I/O in the high-performance computing
(HPC) context. This is an important field for HPC because of the historic gap between …

Hierarchical storage subsystems that include multiple layers of burst buffers (BB) and disk-
based parallel file systems (PFS), are becoming an essential part of HPC systems to …

Metadata performance in distributed file systems (DFS) is critical, due to the following
trends:(a) the growing size of modern storage systems is expected to exceed billions of files …

The contemporary parallel I/O software stack is complex due to a large number of
configurations for tuning I/O performance. Without a proper configuration, I/O becomes a …

Recently developed distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technologies convert fiber-optic
cables into large arrays of subsurface sensors, enabling a variety of applications including …

Many HPC applications perform their I/O in bursts that follow a periodic pattern. This allows
for making predictions as to when a burst occurs. System providers can take advantage of …

Mobile computing has the potential for managing information globally. Data management
issues in mobile computing have received some attention in recent times, and the design of …

In this paper, we seek to guide optimization and tuning strategies by identifying the
application's I/O access pattern. We evaluate three machine learning techniques to …

In this paper, we propose a pattern matching approach for server-side access pattern
detection for the HPC I/O stack. More specifically, our proposal concerns file-level accesses …

As scientific simulations and experiments move toward extremely large scales and generate
massive amounts of data, the data access performance of analytic applications becomes …
