Hi OpenSolaris and HPC folks, I wonder if there is any existing efforts in the OpenSolaris or HPC community to make OpenSolaris better support applications to transfer large files using multiple TCP streams.
Anyway, here's some thoughts I put together: Basically we may provide a user-land library (may it be libhpc or some other names) to provide APIs to allow applications to do parallel data transfer, partial file transfer, and other key features that are required for such applications in the HPC environments. I think there are quite a few applications want to use these features, a typical example could be the FTP server to support GridFTP [1]. And hopefully some guy from the community will be happy to port FTP server to support GridFTP based on this library. Please feel free to comment, thank you! - yxn [1] I. Mandrichenko, W.
