메시지 전달 방식의 병렬 프로그래밍에서 사용되는 MPI는 프로그램의 확장성 보장에 적합한 MPI-IO라는 파일 I/O 방법을 제공하고 있다. MPI-IO는 동시적인 병렬 I/O 수행으로 인한 성능 저하를 최소화하기 위하여 내부적으로 데이터 재정렬 후 I/O를 수행한다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 MPI-IO의 내부 처리과정을 기록하기 위한 방안을 강구하여 실행 시간 로그를 기록하였고 이를 바탕으로 MPI-IO의 특성을 살펴보았다.

IBM developed the MPI-IO, we call it MPI-2, on the General Parallel File System. We designed and implemented various Matrix Multiplication Benchmarks to evaluate its performances. The MPI-IO on the General Parallel File System shows four kinds of data access methods : the non-collective and blocking, the collective and blocking, the non-collective and non-blocking, and the split collective operation. In this paper, we propose benchmarks to measure the IO time and the computation time for the data access methods. We describe not only its implementation but also the performance evaluation results.

가장 느린 서비스시템인 I/O의 성능이 전체적인 컴퓨터 시스템의 성능을 결정짓게 된다. 따라서 전반적인 시스템의 성능 향상을 위해서는 I/O의 성능이 높아져야 한다. 분산병렬환경에서 I/O의 성능을 높이기 위해서 parallel I/O를 사용한다. 하위레벨에서 최적화된 병렬 파일시스템을 사용하고, 어플리케이션 레벨에서 병렬 에플리케이션의 개발을 쉽게 해줄 수 있는 인터페이스를 사용하면 더 효과적인 parallel I/O를 구현할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 MPI에서 병렬 파일시스템인 CrownFS를 지원하도록 하기 위해서 MPI-IO에 CrownFS를 추가하여 병렬환경에서 높은 성능을 나타낼수 있는 parallel I/O 환경을 구현한다.

Since processors are handling inputs and outputs independently on distributed memory computers, different file input/output methods are used. In this paper, we implemented and compared various file I/O methods to show their efficiency on distributed memory parallel computers. The implemented I/O systems are as following: (i) parallel I/O using NFS, (ii) sequential I/O on the host processor and domain decomposition, (iii) MPI-IO. For performance analysis, we used a separated file server and multiple processors on one or two computational servers. The results show the file I/O with NFS for inputs and sequential output with domain composition for outputs are best efficient respectively. The MPI-IO result shows unexpectedly the lowest performance.

Gadget-2 is a scientific simulation code has been used for many different types of simulations like, Colliding Galaxies, Cluster Formation and the popular Millennium Simulation. The code is parallelized with Message Passing Interface (MPI) and is written in C language. There is also a Java adaptation of the original code written using MPJ Express called Java Gadget. Java Gadget writes a lot of checkpoint data which may or may not use the HDF-5 file format. Since, HDF-5 is MPI-IO compliant, we can use our MPJ-IO library to perform parallel reading and writing of the checkpoint files and improve I/O performance. Additionally, to add reliability to the code execution, we propose the usage of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) for writing the intermediate (checkpoint files) and final data (output files). The current code writes and reads the input, output and checkpoint files sequentially which can easily become bottleneck for large scale simulations. In this paper, we propose Sim-Hadoop, a framework to leverage HDFS and MPJ-IO for improving the I/O performance of Java Gadget code.

The checkpointing schemes should reduce the process delay through managing the checkpoints of each node to fit the network load to enhance the performance of the process running on the cluster system that write the checkpoints into its global stable storage. For this reason, a cluster system with single IO space on a distributed RAID chooses a suitable checkpointng scheme to get the maximum IO performance and the best rollback recovery efficiency. In this paper, we improved the striped checkpointing scheme with dynamic stripe group size by adapting to the network bandwidth variation at the point of checkpointing. To analyze the performance of the multi striped checkpointing scheme, we applied Linpack HPC benchmark with MPI on our own cluster system with maximum 512 virtual nodes. The benchmark results showed that the multistriped checkpointing scheme has better performance than the striped checkpointing scheme on the checkpoint writing efficiency and rollback recovery at heavy system load.

Circuit testing process is very important in IC Manufacturing there are two ways in research for circuit testing improvement. These are ATPG Tool Design and Test simulation application. We are interested in how to use parallel technique such as one-side communication, parallel IO and dynamic Process with data partition for circuit testing improvement and we use one-side communication technique in this paper. The parallel ATPG Tool can reduce the test pattern sets of the circuit that is designed in laboratory for make sure that the fault is not occur. After that, we use result for parallel circuit test simulation to find fault between designed circuit and tested circuit. From the experiment, We use less execution time than non-parallel Process. And we can set more parameter for less test size. Previous experiment we can't do it because some parameter will affect much waste time. But in the research, if we use the best ATPG Tool can optimize to least test sets and parallel circuit testing application will not work. Because there are too little test set for circuit testing application. In this paper we use a standard sequential circuit of ISCAS89.
