In scientific applications, netCDF was developed to support a view of data as a collection of self-describing, portable, and array-oriented objects that can be accessed through a simple interface. Recently parallel netCDF has been developed with the help of an MPI-I/O library to realize parallel I/O operations with netCDF data format support. Unfortunately, the same operations in remote I/O between different MPI libraries have not been realized. To realize this mechanism, a remote I/O mechanism of a Stampi library has been introduced in several parallel netCDF interfaces. Stampi is a flexible intermediate library to realize seamless MPI communications and MPI-I/O operations not only inside a computer but also among computers. Implemented collective functions have been evaluated on two interconnected PC clusters, and sufficient performance has been achieved with huge amount of data. |
