  comment = {They measure the performance of the CM-5 Scalable File System
  using synthetic benchmarks. They compare CM-Fortran with CMMD. The
  hardware-dependent (``physical'') modes were much faster than the
  generic-format modes, which have to reorder data between the processor
  distribution and the disk distribution. The network turned out to be a
  bottleneck for the performance when reordering was needed. They conclude that
  more user control over the I/O would be very helpful.}
