  abstract = {The most difficult and frequently most important challenge for
  high performance file access is the achievement of low latency cache misses.
  We propose to explore the utility and feasibility of using file access hints
  to schedule overlapped prefetching of file data. Hints may be issued
  explicitly by programmers, automatically by compilers, speculatively by
  parent tasks such as shells and makes, or historically by previously profiled
  executions. Our research will also address the thorny issues of hint
  specification, memory resource management, imprecise and incorrect hints, and
  appropriate interfaces for propogating hints through and to effected
  application, operating system, file system, and device specific modules. We
  begin our research with a detailed examination of two applications with large
  potential for improvement: compilation of multiple module software systems
  and scientific simulation using very large grid state files.},
