Abstract
I/O Forwarding can give the NEC SX-9 access to non-natively supported filesystems like Lustre. The implementation of the first IOFWD release has been finished. The IOFWD framework is running on the SX-9 as a client and on x86-64 based machines as a server. Users can benefit in several ways like running coupled applications spanning over scalar and vector machines and simplify their workflows by avoiding the hassle of copying data between various filesystems. The development was done as part of the SX-Linux project in collaboration of HLRS and NEC EHPCTC Stuttgart. This paper reports the implemented IOFWD design and the usage of IOFWD on the SX-9.
