Abstract

Many Applications in different fields need to access large amounts of data. The difficulty of handling out-of-core data limits the performance of supercomputers. This paper first describes an out-of-core computation model on cluster of workstations. Then an object-oriented method is offered, which makes the out-of-core programs easier to write. Some optimal strategies, such as distribution of Local Array Files, data sieving and prefetching, also make an improvement in the performance of out-of-core parallel computations.
