Input/Output in Parallel and Distributed Computer Systems has
attracted increasing attention over the last few years, as it has
become apparent that input/output performance, rather than CPU
performance, may be the key limiting factor in the performance of
future systems. This I/O bottleneck is caused by the increasing
speed mismatch between processing units and storage devices, the
use of multiple processors operating simultaneously in parallel and
distributed systems, and by the increasing I/O demands of new
classes of applications, like multimedia. It is also important to
note that, to varying degrees, the I/O bottleneck exists at
multiple levels of the memory hierarchy. All indications are that
the I/O bottleneck will be with us for some time to come, and is
likely to increase in importance. Input/Output in Parallel and
Distributed Computer Systems is based on papers presented at the
1994 and 1995 IOPADS workshops held in conjunction with the
International Parallel Processing Symposium. This book is divided
into three parts. Part I, the Introduction, contains four invited
chapters which provide a tutorial survey of I/O issues in parallel
and distributed systems. The chapters in Parts II and III contain
selected research papers from the 1994 and 1995 IOPADS workshops;
many of these papers have been substantially revised and updated
for inclusion in this volume. Part II collects the papers from both
years which deal with various aspects of system software, and Part
III addresses architectural issues. Input/Output in Parallel and
Distributed Computer Systems is suitable as a secondary text for
graduate level courses in computer architecture, software
engineering, and multimedia systems, and as a reference for
researchers and practitioners in industry.
