Abstract

It is noted that advances in massively parallel, large-memory computers and cooperative processing networks allow researchers to execute large-scale codes that generate massive amounts of data. Recent developments in high-speed networks allow large amounts of data to be transferred through a HiPPI (High Performance Parallel Interface) network in reasonable time frames. To support this high-performance computing environment, data storage, and data conversion capabilities must be provided to allow the massive amounts of data generated to be stored in a timely and reliable manner and to allow them to be retrieved easily for analysis and display.<>
