Efficient support for MPI-IO atomicity based on versioning

Résumé

We consider the challenge of building data management systems that meet an important requirement of today's data-intensive HPC applications: to provide a high I/O throughput while supporting highly concurrent data accesses. In this context, many applications rely on MPI-IO and require atomic, non-contiguous I/O operations that concurrently access shared data. In most existing implementations the atomicity requirement is often implemented through locking-based schemes, which have proven inefficient, especially for non-contiguous I/O. We claim that using a versioning-enabled storage backend has the potential to avoid expensive synchronization as exhibited by locking-based schemes, which is much more efficient. We describe a prototype implementation on top of ROMIO along this idea, and report on promising experimental results with standard MPI-IO benchmarks specifically designed to evaluate the performance of non-contiguous, overlapped I/O accesses under MPI atomicity guarantees.
