abstract = {We have demonstrated that the ParaStation3 communication
system speeds up the performance of parallel I/O on cluster
computers such as ALiCE. I/O benchmarks with PVFS using
Parastation over Myrinet achieve a throughput for write
operations of up to 1 GB/s from a 32-processor compute
partition, given a 32-processor PVFS I/O partition. These
results outperform known benchmark results for PVFS on 1.28
Gbit Myrinet by more than a factor of 2, a fact that is
mainly due to the superior communication features of
ParaStation. Read performance from buffer cache reaches up
to 2.2 GB/s, while reading from hard disk saturates at the
cumulative hard disk performance. The I/O performance
achieved with PVFS using ParaStation enables us to carry out
extremely data-intensive eigenmode computations on ALiCE in
the application field of lattice quantum chromodynamics. For
the future, we plan to utilize the I/O system for storing
and processing mass data in high energy physics data
analysis on clusters.},
