title = "COMPASSION: A parallel I/O runtime system including chunking and compression for irregular applications",
abstract = "In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of COMPASSION, a runtime system for irregular applications based on collective I/O techniques. It provides a {"}Collective I/O{"} model, enhanced with {"} Pipelined{"} operations and compression. All processors participate in the I/O simultaneously, alone or grouped, making scheduling of I/O requests simpler and providing support for contention management. In-memory compression mechanisms reduce the total execution time by diminishing the amount of I/O requested and the I/O contention. Our experiments, executed on an Intel Paragon and on the ASCI/Red teraflops machine, demonstrate that COMPASSION can obtain significantly high-performance for I/O above what has been possible so far.",
