  abstract = {To demonstrate the flexibility of the Galley parallel file system
  and to analyze the efficiency and flexibility of the Vesta parallel file
  system interface, we implemented Vesta's application-programming interface on
  top of Galley. We implemented the Vesta interface using Galley's file-access
  methods, whose design arose from extensive testing and characterization of
  the I/O requirements of scientific applications for high-performance
  multiprocessors. We used a parallel CPU, parallel I/O, out-of-core
  matrix-multiplication application to test the Vesta interface in both its
  ability to specify data access patterns and in its run-time efficiency. In
  spite of its powerful ability to specify the distribution of regular,
  non-overlapping data access patterns across disks, we found that the Vesta
  interface has some significant limitations. We discuss these limitations in
  detail in the paper, along with the performance results.},
