AP-IO: Asynchronous Pipeline I/O for Hiding Periodic Output Cost in CFD Simulation

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation often needs to periodically output intermediate results to files in the form of snapshots for visualization or restart, which seriously impacts the performance. In this paper, we present asynchronous pipeline I/O (AP-IO) optimization scheme for the perio...
