DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: There is growing concern that I/O systems will be hard pressed to satisfy the requirements of future leadership-class machines. Even current machines are found to be I/O bound for some applications. In this paper, we identify existing performance bottlenecks in data movement for  I/O on the IBM Blue Gene/P (BG/P) supercomputer currently deployed at several leadership computing facilities. We improve the I/O performance by exploiting the network topology of BG/P for collective I/O, leveraging data semantics of applications and incorporating asynchronous data staging.  We demonstrate the efficacy of our approaches for synthetic benchmark experiments and for application-level benchmarks at scale on leadership computing systems.
