  abstract = {This paper presents a new approach towards parallel I/O for
  message-passing (MPI) applications on clusters built with commodity hardware
  and an SCI interconnect: instead of using the classic scheme of clients and a
  number of servers communicating via TCP/IP, a pure peer-to-peer communication
  topology based on efficient use of the underlying SCI interconnect is
  presented. Every process of the MPI application is client as well as server
  for I/O operations. This allows for a maximum of locality in file access,
  while the accesses to remote portions of the distributed file are performed
  via distributed shared memory techniques. A server is only required to manage
  the initial distribution of the file fragments between the participating
  nodes and to provide services like external access and redundancy. (5
