Our environment enables programmers to extend the concept of array distribution from memory levels to file levels. It allows parallel I/O according to the distribution of objects in an application. When objects are read and/or written by multiple applications using different distributions, we present a novel scheme to help programmers to select the best data distribution pattern according to minimum amount of remote data movements for the store of array objects on distributed file systems.} }
