Abstract
I/O nodes are dynamically distributed on a multi-node computing system. An I/O configuration mechanism located in the service node of a multi-node computer system controls the distribution of the I/O nodes. The I/O configuration mechanism uses job information located in a job record to initially configure the I/O node distribution. The I/O configuration mechanism further monitors the I/O performance of the executing job to then dynamically adjusts the I/O node distribution based on the I/O performance of the executing job.
