Input/output system for parallel computer for performing parallel file transfers between selected number of input/output devices and another selected number of processing nodes
A computer comprising a plurality of processing elements and an input/output processor interconnected by a routing network. The routing network transfers messages between the processing elements and the input/output processor. The processing elements perform processing operations in connection with data received from the input/output processor in messages transferred over the routing network and transferring processed data to the input/output processor in messages over the routing network, the processing elements being connected as a first selected series of leaf nodes. The input/output processor includes a plurality of input/output buffers connected as a second selected series of leaf nodes of the routing network for generating messages for transfer over the routing network to a series of processing elements forming at least a selected subset of the processing elements during an input/output operation.
