• Convert to/from ASCII text files: before transferring, data files can be converted in ASCII format, that does not have an endianness issue. Once copied they can be converted back to binary to be used as inputs for jobs and/or processing.
• change/modify your code: use this approach if you have a code of your own. For example, HDF5 library can be used to manage your data to take into account endianness in I/O operations. For details see: https://www.hdfgroup.org/training/HDFtraining/UsersGuide/Fundmtls.fm3.html
• If your code is written in fortran you can follow the procedure described in this procedure page in order to manage endianness in I/O operations on Marconi: http://www.lrz.de/services/compute/troubleshoot/#TOC7Some software in the domain module profiles are able to read data files generated on Fermi and therefore no need to convert them when used to start simulations from checkpoints or restart files.
