Runtime system design of decoupled execution paradigm for data-intensive high-end computing

High performance computing are widely used for scientific discoveries by running scientific computation programs. Many of these applications are getting more and more data intensive [1]. They generate or access huge amount of data during some execution phases. However, traditional supercomputers are designed for computing-intensive tasks. They usually have highdensity clusters of processing cores and their storage systems are placed remotely and connected to the computing clusters with networks. This separation of the computing system and the storage system causes the data Input/Output performance bottleneck, especially for the data-intensive phases of HPC applications. This bottleneck degrades the HPC system´s efficiency.
