One important way of solving I/O bottleneck is to develop parallel file system. Research showed that the strided file access pattern in scientific applications combined with current file system methods to perform these accesses lead to unacceptable performance for large data access. To enhance performance of discontiguous data access, we have created a new high performance I/O method: the user-defined file view and combining I/O requests (UFCR). We have implemented our ideas on WPFS. Experimentation results showed that our method can substantially enhance the performance of scientific applications.
