Crockett}, title = {File Concepts for Parallel {I/O}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Supercomputing '89}, year = {1989}, pages = {574--579}, keywords = {parallel I/O, file access pattern, parallel file system, pario-bib}, comment = {Two views of a file: global (for sequential programs) and internal (for parallel programs). Standardized forms for these views, for long-lived files. Temp files have specialized forms. The access types are sequential, partitioned, interleaved, and self-scheduled, plus global random and partitioned random. He relates these to their best storage patterns. No mention of prefetching. Buffer cache only needed for direct (random) access. The application must specify the access pattern desired.} }
