Abstract

In a file system for use with a parallel computer, a file access system is provided. When a host computer opens a file, it can see it as one file. When each system opens a file, it can see the file as a local file. A substance is stored as one file in a secondary memory. However, in an open mode, each cell can see a required portion.
