  abstract = {The computational performance of multiprocessors continues to
  improve by leaps and bounds, fueled in part by rapid improvements in
  processor and interconnection technology. I/O performance thus becomes ever
  more critical, to avoid becoming the bottleneck of system performance. In
  this paper we provide an introduction to I/O architectural issues in
  multiprocessors, with a focus on disk subsystems. While we discuss examples
  from actual architectures and provide pointers to interesting research in the
  literature, we do not attempt to provide a comprehensive survey. We
  concentrate on a study of the architectural design issues, and the effects of
  different design alternatives.},
