  abstract = {Parallel disk subsystems have been proposed as one way to close
  the gap between processor and disk speeds. In a previous paper we showed that
  prefetching and caching have the potential to deliver the performance
  benefits of parallel file systems to parallel applications. In this paper we
  describe experiments with practical prefetching policies, and show that
  prefetching can be implemented efficiently even for the more complex parallel
  file access patterns. We test these policies across a range of architectural
  parameters.},
