Abstract: This paper presents MAPFS, a MultiAgent Parallel File System for clusters. MAPFS has been conceived as a client able to interact with different existing traditional or distributed servers and provide them the parallel I/O characteristics. Therefore, MAPFS allows take advantage of the use of the parallelism in clusters of workstations. MAPFS defines a multiagent architecture that defines the storage group concept, as a set of servers that form a group to sup-port the parallel I/O for MAPFS. MAPFS offers a file sys-tem interface that include traditional operations, advanced and collective operations, and fault tolerance and caching operations.
