  abstract = {In parallel programs with large out-of-core arrays stored in
  files, it is necessary to read/write smaller sections of the arrays from/to
  files. We describe a runtime method for accessing sections of out-of-core
  arrays efficiently. This method, called the {\em extended two-phase method},
  uses collective I/O in which processors cooperate to read/write out-of-core
  data in an efficient manner. The I/O workload is divided among processors
  dynamically, depending on the access requests. Performance results on the
  Intel Touchstone Delta show that the extended two-phase method performs
  considerably better than a direct method for different access patterns, array
  sizes, and number of processors. We have used the extended two-phase method
  in the PASSION runtime library for parallel I/O.},
