Hello all,
As a reminder, the "find" portion of the IO500 is the least proscribed
portion and we encourage you all to innovate heavily in this area by
writing your own custom tools. However, we do realize that many of you are
using the provided tools. Unfortunately, these provided tools have been
suboptimal.
As such, we are happy to announce that Julian wrote a new parallel find
tool that is much improved over the previous. It uses C instead of python
so should be easier to get up and running in your environments.
Additionally, we have found that the "find" functionality can take an
intractable amount of time. As such, Julian also added stonewall
functionality. If you do use it, we will count the score but will mark it
accordingly.
Instructions for using it are in io500.sh:setup_find. You will want to
pull a new clone of the github and rerun ./utilities/prepare.sh to get
everything setup.
Please let us know if you encounter any difficulties.
Thanks,
John Julian Jay
