  abstract = {In this paper we present an experimental evaluation of
  COMPASSION, a runtime system for irregular applications based on collective
  I/O techniques. It provides a "Collective I/O" model, enhanced with
  "Pipelined" operations and compression. All processors participate in the I/O
  simultaneously, alone or grouped, making scheduling of I/O requests simpler
  and providing support for contention management. In-memory compression
  mechanisms reduce the total execution time by diminishing the amount of I/O
  requested and the I/O contention. Our experiments, executed on an Intel
  Paragon and on the ASCI/Red teraflops machine, demonstrate that COMPASSION
  can obtain significantly high-performance for I/O above what has been
  possible so far.}
