Points out the need for quantitative studies of workloads. Comments on architectures, eg, the advent of per-node disk devices. OS problems include communication latency, data decomposition, interface, prefetching and caching, and checkpointing. Runtime system and compilers are important, particularly in reference to data-mapping and re-mapping (see delrosario:two-phase). Persistent object stores and networking are mentioned briefly.} }
