Scientific applications often need to access remotely located files, but many remote I/O systems lack standard APIs that allow efficient and direct access from application codes. This work presents MPI-IO/L, a remote I/O facility for MPI-IO using Logistical Networking. This combination not only provides high-performance and direct remote I/O using the standard parallel I/O interface but also offers convenient management and sharing of remote files. We show the performance trade-offs with various remote I/O approaches implemented in the system, which can help scientists identify preferable I/O options for their own applications. We also discuss how Logistical Networking could be improved to work better with parallel I/O systems such as ROMIO.
