File System Support

The IntelĀ® MPI Library provides loadable shared modules to provide native support for the following file systems:

Set the I_MPI_EXTRA_FILESYSTEM environment variable to on to enable parallel file system support. Set the I_MPI_EXTRA_FILESYSTEM_LIST environment variable to request native support for the specific file system. For example, to request native support for Panasas* ActiveScale* File System, do the following:

$ mpiexec -env I_MPI_EXTRA_FILESYSTEM on \

-env I_MPI_EXTRA_FILESYSTEM_LIST panfs -n 2 ./test
