[mpich-discuss] Parallel File System

[Hiatt, Dave M]

Is there a default parallel file system baked into MPICH so that MPI-IO is functional without Lustre, PVFS, or GFPS being installed independently on my cluster.  I'm getting a lot of pushback from my grid support group, telling me if I want parallel I/O I have to bake it into my app.  We write to an NFS mount disk farm.  Can I use MPI 1.2.1 out of the box and get parallel I/O through MPI IO?  For whatever reason I didn't find this answer on the web site anywhere.  If I missed it, I apologize.

Ciao
dave
