N2 - Large-scale scientific simulations generate petascale data sets subsequently analyzed by groups of researchers, often in databases. We developed a software library, MPI-DB, to provide database services to scientific computing applications. As a bridge between CPU-intensive and data-intensive computations, MPI-DB exploits massive parallelism within large databases to provide scalable, fast service. It is built as a client-server framework, using MPI, with MPI-DB server acting as an intermediary between the user application running an MPI-DB client and the database servers. MPI-DB provides high-level objects such as multi-dimensional arrays, acting as an abstraction layer that effectively hides the database from the end user.
