Hello everyone!<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
I'm Aditya, a senior year undergraduate student working on parallel clustering algorithms. The professor I'm working with and I had come across various recent research papers such as
<a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2807616" target="_blank">this</a> and <a href="http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2834894" target="_blank">
this</a> and we wish to incorporate a parallel IO in the distributed algorithm that we are working on. My professor and associated PhD scholars are not that familiar with parallel file systems in general, and lustre in specific, and neither am I.<u></u><u></u></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:12.0pt;margin-left:.5in">
I want to know the most efficient way to understand the basic working of lustre, set it up on my cluster and do a parallel reading of input. I have gone through the getting started guide but the user manual is too exhaustive for me. Any suggestions on how I
 should go about plugging in Lustre in my project?<u></u><u></u></p>
