  comment = {A more polished version of his other papers with del Rosario. The
  mapping-based mechanism is released in nCUBE software 3.0. It does support
  shared file pointers for self-scheduled I/O, as well as support for
  variable-length records, and asynchronous I/O (although the primary mechanism
  is for synchronous, i.e., SPMD, I/O). The basic idea of scalable pipes
  (between programs, devices, etc.) with mappings that determine routings to
  units seems like a good idea.}
