  abstract = {Parallel computer architectures require innovative software
  solutions to utilize their capabilities. This statement is true for system
  software no less than for application programs. File system development for
  the IBM SP product line of computers started with the Vesta research project,
  which introduced the ideas of parallel access to partitioned files. This
  technology was then integrated with a conventional Advanced Interactive
  Executive (AIX) environment to create the IBM AIX Parallel I/O File System
  product. We describe the design and implementation of Vesta, including user
  interfaces and enhancements to the control environment needed to run the
  system. Changes to the basic design that were made as part of the AIX
  Parallel I/O File System are identified and justified.},
  comment = {Probably the most authoritative Vesta/PIOFS paper yet. Good
  description of the system, motivations, etc. Not as much detail as some, like
