  abstract = {Summary form only given. After these two decades, it is now a
  good time to go through all the done work and try to learn the important
  lessons all these parallel I/O initiatives have taught us. This paper aims at
  giving this global overview. The focus is not on commercial/academic
  systems/prototypes, but on the concepts that lay behind them. These concepts
  have normally been applied at different levels, and thus, such an overview
  can be of interest to many people ranging from the hardware design to the
  application implementation. Some of the most important concepts that are
  discussed are, among others, data placement (RAIDs, 2D and 3D files, ...),
  network architectures for parallel I/O (Network attached devices, SAN, ...),
  parallel caching and prefetching (cooperative caching, Informed caching and
  prefetching, ...), and interfaces (collective I/O, data distribution
  interfaces, ...).},
