[Lustre-discuss] mpi-io support

[emoly.liu]

Hi,

An optimized Lustre ADIO collective write driver is developed by ORNL 
and SUN Lustre group. We improve the relationship between collective 
MPI-IO and the Lustre striping.

The recent FLASH I/O benchmarking results on Jaguar show that our new 
driver gives significant performance improvements in the following 
graph. In this test, we compare ufs independent driver, ufs optimized 
collective driver to lustre adio driver.


At present, the patch for mpich2-1.0.7 is worked out and maintained in 
HEAD branch. It should be released soon.

Thanks,
LiuYing
