ROMIO

Prabhat and Quincey Koziol have edited a new parallel I/O textbook.  In addition to ROMIO and MPI-IO concepts, the book spans the software stack, covering  storage devices, I/O libraries, file systems, applications, facilities.    This book marks a major update over the field’s previous survey textbook (2001’s “Parallel I/O for High Perfomance Computing”, by John May, now out of print).
The book contains material from me (Rob Latham),  several other Argonne researchers, and a large number of our past and present collaborators.
“High Performance Parallel I/O”, Prabhat and Quincey Koziol, Editors. Chapman and Hall/CRC, October 2014.
You can get the book from Amazon and all the other places books are sold: Amazon, Google Books.
