abstract = {As the number of nodes in cluster systems continues to grow,
leveraging scalable algorithms in all aspects of such systems becomes key to
maintaining performance. While scalable algorithms have been applied
successfully in some areas of parallel I/O, many operations are still
performed in an uncoordinated manner. In this work we consider, in three file
system scenarios, the possibilities for applying scalable algorithms to the
many operations that make up the MPI-IO interface. From this evaluation we
extract a set of file system characteristics that aid in developing scalable
MPI-IO implementations.}
