Abstract
In this paper we present the Vienna Parallel Input Output System (ViPIOS), a novel approach to enhance the I/O performance of high performance applications. It is a client-server based tool combining capabilities found in parallel I/O runtime libraries and parallel file systems.
This work was carried out as part of the research project ”Language, Compiler, and Advanced Data Structure Support for Parallel I/O Operations” supported by the Austrian Science Foundation (FWF Grant P11006-MAT)
