  comment = {Full paper grimshaw:ELFSTR. Really neat idea. Uses OO interface to
  file system, which is mostly in user mode. The object classes represent
  particular access patterns (e.g., 2-D matrix) in the file, and hide the actual
  structure of the file. The object knows enough to taylor the cache and
  prefetch algorithms to the semantics. Class inheritance allows layering.}
