We review the Bayesian inference methods implemented and describe the structure of the modules. We demonstrate that the PyCBC Inference modules produce unbiased estimates of the parameters of a simulated population of binary black hole mergers. We show that the parameters’ posterior distributions obtained using our new code agree well with the published estimates for binary black holes in the first Advanced LIGO–Virgo observing run.},

abstract = {As computational resources have become more powerful over time, availability of large-scale data has exploded, with datasets greatly increasing their spatial and temporal resolutions. For many years now, I/O read time has been recognized as the primary bottleneck for parallel visualization and analysis of large-scale data. Read times ultimately depends on how the file is stored and the file access pattern used to read the file. In this paper, we introduce a model which can estimate the read time for a file stored in a parallel filesystem when given the file access pattern. The type of parallel decomposition used directly dictates what the file access pattern will be. The spatio-temporal pipeline is used to give greater flexibility to the file access pattern used. The spatio-temporal pipeline combines both spatial and temporal parallelism to create a parallel decomposition for a task. Within the spatio-temporal pipeline, all available processes are divided into groups called time compartments. Temporal parallelism is utilized as different timesteps are independently processed by separate time compartments, and spatial parallelism is used to divide each timestep over all processes within a time compartment. The ratio between spatial and temporal parallelism is controlled by adjusting the size of a time compartment. Using the model, we were able to configure the spatio-temporal pipeline to create optimized read access patterns, resulting in a speedup factor of approximately 400 over traditional file access patterns.},
