We present an overview of <i>ParFiSysi>, a coherent parallel file system developed at the UPM to provide I/O services to the GPMIMD machine, an MPP built within the ESPRIT project P-5404. Special emphasis is made on the results obtained during <i>ParFiSysi> evaluation. They were obtained using several I/O benchmarks (PARKBENCH, IOBENCH, etc.) and several MPP platforms (T800, T9000, etc.) to cover a big spectrum of the <i>ParFiSysi> features, being specifically oriented to measure throughput for <i>scientific applications I/O patterns. ParFiSysi> is specially well suited to provide I/O services to scientific applications requiring high I/O bandwidth, to minimize application porting effort, and to exploit the parallelism of generic message-passing multicomputers.
