  abstract = {Grand challenge applications have to process large amounts of
  data, and then require high performance IO systems. Cluster computing is a
  good alternative to proprietary system for building cost effective IO
  intensive platform: some cluster architectures won sorting benchmark
  (MinuteSort, Datamation)! Recent advances in IO component technologies (disk,
  controller and network) let us expect higher IO performance for data
  intensive applications on cluster. The counterpart of this evolution is that
  much stress is put on the different buses (memory, IO) of each node which
  cannot be scaled. In this paper we investigate a strategy we called READ2
  (Remote Efficient Access to Distant Device) to reduce the stress. With READ2
  any cluster node accesses directly to remote disk: the remote processor and
  the remote memory are removed from the control and data path: Inputs/Outputs
  don't interfere with the host processor and the host memory activity. With
  READ2 strategy, a cluster can be considered as a shared disk architecture
  instead of a shared nothing one. This papers describes an implementation of
  READ^2 on Myrinet Networks. First experimental results show IO performance
  improvement.}
