) Objectives MP-2 is the first version of mpi to include routines for handling parallel / O. As such, much of the material in this chapter is applicable only if the system you are working on has an implementation of MPi that includes parallel I/O This section proposes to introduce you to the general concepts of parallel l /o, with a focus on MPl-2 file w /o The material is organized to meet the following three goals 1. Learn fundamental concepts that define parallel I/o 2. Understand how parallel I/0 is different from traditional, serial 1O 3. Gain experience with the basic MP[-2 /0 function callsObjectives • MPI-2 is the first version of MPI to include routines for handling parallel I/O.
