3.9.2 Local Disks on Compute Nodes
The use of a local disk for private, temporary storage may be configured on the compute nodes of your HP XC system. Contact your system administrator to find out about the local disks configured on your system.
A local disk is a temporary storage space and does not hold data across execution of applications. Therefore, any information generated by the application during its execution is not saved on the local disk once the application has completed.
3.9.3 I/O Performance Considerations
Before building and running your parallel application, I/O performance issues on the HP XC cluster must be considered.
The I/O control system provides two basic types of standard file system views to the application:
•Shared
•Private
3.9.3.1Shared File View
Although a file opened by multiple processes of an application is shared, each processor maintains a private file pointer and file position. This means that if a certain order of input or output from multiple processors is desired, the application must synchronize its I/O requests or position its file pointer such that it acts on the desired file location.
Output requests to standard output and standard error are
fp = fopen ("myfile", "a+");
3.9.3.2 Private File View
Although the shared file approach improves ease of use for most applications, some applications, especially those written for
For example, assume /tmp and/tmp1 have been configured on each compute node.
Now each process can open up a file named /tmp/myscratch or /tmp1/myother- scratch and each would see a unique file pointer. If these file systems do not exist local to the node, an error results.
It is a good idea to use this option for temporary storage only, and make sure that the application deletes the file at the end.
C example: fd = open ("/tmp/myscratch", flags)
Fortran example: open (unit=9, file="/tmp1/myotherscratch" )
