  abstract = {We estimate the performance of a network-wide concurrent file
  system implemented using conventional disks as disk arrays. Tests were
  carried out on both single system and network-wide environments. On single
  systems, a file was split across several disks to test the performance of
  file I/O operations. We concluded that performance was proportional to the
  number of disks, up to four, on a system with high computing power.
  Performance of a system with low computing power, however, did not increase,
  even with more than two disks. When we split a file across disks in a
  network-wide system called the Network-wide Concurrent File System (N-CFS),
  we found performance similar to or slightly higher than that of disk arrays
  on single systems. Since file access through N-CFS is transparent, this
  system enables traditional disks on single and networked systems to be used
  as disk arrays for I/O intensive jobs.}
