The code writes a history file, dumping some data every timestep, and periodically a restart file. They found that CM-5 Fortran met their needs, although required huge buffers to get much scalability. They want to see a single, shared file-system image from all processors, have the file format be independent of processor count, use portable conventional interface, and have throughput scale with the number of computation processors.
