  abstract = {Applications executing on massively parallel supercomputers
  require a high aggregate bandwidth of I/O with low latency. This requirement
  cannot be satisfied by an external file server. Once solution is to employ an
  internal parallel I/O subsystem, in which I/O nodes with DASD are linked wo
  the same interconnection network that connects the compute nodes. The option
  of increasing the number of I/O nodes together with the number of compute
  nodes allows for a balanced architecture. Indeed, most multicomputer vendors
  provide internal parallel I/O subsystems as part of their product offerings.
  However, these systems typically attempt to preserve a Unix-compatible
  interface, hiding or abstracting the parallelism. New interfaces may be
  required to fully utilize the capabilities of Parallel I/O.},
