One of the PUL libraries is PUL-GF, to support file I/O. The underlying I/O support is not parallel (but see chapple:pario). The interface is parallel, however; in particular, it supports file modes similar to those used in many systems, which they call single, multi, random, and independent. Formatted and unformatted, synchronous and asynchronous. Very general multidimensional-array read and write functions. Ability to group multiple I/O requests into atomic units, though not a full transaction capability. See also chapple:pulgf-adv and chapple:pario.} }
