  abstract = {Large scale irregular applications involve data arrays and other
  data structures that are too large to fit in main memory and hence reside on
  disks; such applications are called out-of-core applications. This paper
  presents techniques for implementing this kind of applications. In particular
  we present a design for a runtime system to efficiently support parallel
  execution of irregular out-of-core codes on distributed-memory systems.
  Furthermore, we describe the appropriate program transformations required to
  reduce the I/O overheads for staging data as well as for communication while
  maintaining load balance. The proposed techniques can be used by a
  parallelizing compiler or by users writing programs in node + message passing
  style. We have done a preliminary implementation of the techniques presented
  here. We introduce experimental results from a template CFD code to
  demonstrate the efficacy of the presented techniques.},
  comment = {The authors present techniques for implementing large scale
  irregular out-of-core applications. The techniques they describe can be used
  by a parallel compiler (e.g., HPF and its extensions) or by users using
  message passing. The objectives of the proposed techniques are to ''to
  minimize I/O accesses in all steps while maintaining load balance and minimal
  communication''. They demonstrate the effectivness of their techniques by
  showing results from a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code.}
