Theses

Enhancing OpenMP for Parallelizing Input/Output in Shared Memory Applications

OpenMP has become a cornerstone for parallelizing computations in shared-memory environments. However, a crucial aspect often overlooked is the parallelization of input and output (I/O) operations within applications. This topic aims to explore the untapped potential of extending OpenMP to parallelize the serial aspects of I/O operations in shared-memory applications. Objectives

Research Component

Conduct a comprehensive literature review on existing parallelization strategies for I/O operations for shared memory systems.
Utilize code search engines (e.g., for GitHub) to identify serial applications with potential for I/O parallelization.
Evaluate current practices and challenges related to I/O operations in shared-memory applications.

Development Component

Introduce a novel pragma to OpenMP for recalculating file offsets and managing file handlers in parallel.
Develop a proof-of-concept implementation showcasing the effectiveness of the proposed pragma.
Implement necessary modifications to OpenMP runtime to support the new parallelization approach.

The topic is suitable for both a Bachelor's and a Master's thesis and can be worked on in either English or German. If you have any questions or are interested, please reach out to Anna Fuchs or Jannek Squar.
