Abstract
High-performance distributed computing appears to be shifting away
from tightly-connected supercomputers to “computational
grids” composed of heterogeneous systems of networks, computers,
storage devices and various other devices that collectively act as a
single geographically distributed “virtual” computer. One of
the great challenges for this environment is providing efficient
parallel data access to remote distributed data sets. In this paper, we
discuss some of the issues associated with parallel I/O and
computational grids and describe the design of a flexible parallel file
system that allows the application to control the behavior and
functionality of virtually all aspects of the file system
