  abstract = {STARFISH is a parallel file-system simulator we built for our
  research into the concept of disk-directed I/O. In this report, we detail
  steps taken to tune the file systems supported by STARFISH, which include a
  traditional parallel file system (with caching) and a disk-directed I/O
  system. In particular, we now support two-phase I/O, use smarter disk
  scheduling, increased the maximum number of outstanding requests that a
  compute processor may make to each disk, and added gather/scatter block
  transfer. We also present results of the experiments driving the tuning
  effort.},
  comment = {Reports on some new changes to the STARFISH simulator that
  implements traditional caching and disk-directed I/O. This is meant mainly as
  a companion to kotz:jdiskdir. See also kotz:jdiskdir, kotz:diskdir,
