Abstract
A disk access apparatus for performing a stride processing of data is used in a parallel computer system for connecting a plurality of computers to each other through a network. The disk access apparatus comprises a first data storage unit for storing stride process object data which is an object of a data distribution or data merging operation, a stride data storing position storage unit for storing the data storing position in the first data storing unit or a pointer designating a header of a packet of the object data transmitted from another data storage unit, a second data storage unit for storing the stride object data, a stride data storing destination storage unit for storing a data storing position in the second data storage unit or a pointer designating a header of a packet to be transmitted to another computer when stride object data is included in the packet, a partial data size storage unit for storing a size of the partial data which is an object of the distribution or a merging operation, and a stride processing unit for storing the stride process object data designated by the storing content in the stride data storing position storage unit in accordance with the cont…
