  abstract = {Parallel file systems employ data declustering to increase
  \mbox{I/O} throughput. As a result, a single read or write operation can
  generate concurrent data accesses on multiple storage devices. Unless a
  concurrency control mechanism is employed, familiar file access semantics are
  likely to be violated. This paper details the transaction-based concurrency
  control mechanism implemented in the PIOUS parallel file system. Performance
  results are presented demonstrating that sequential consistency semantics can
  be provided without loss of system scalability.},
