  comment = {See cabrera:swift, cabrera:swift2. Describes the performance of a
  Swift prototype and simulation results. They stripe data over multiple disk
  servers (here SPARC SLC with local disk), and access it from a SPARC2 client.
  Their prototype gets nearly linear speedup for reads and asynchronous writes;
  synchronous writes are slower. They hit the limit of the Ethernet and/or the
  client processor with three disk servers. Adding another Ethernet allowed
  them to go higher. Simulation shows good scaling. Seems like a smarter
  implementation would help, as would special- purpose parity-computation
  hardware. Good arguments for use of PID instead of RAID, to avoid a
  centralized controller that is both a bottleneck and a single point of
  failure.}
