  comment = {The complete paper on the SPIFFI parallel file system. It seems to
  be much like Intel CFS from the programmer's point of view, with a few new
  file modes, user-selectable striping granularity. Their Paragon, though a
  source of problems, had a disk on every node (though they do not take
  advantage of that in this work). They have a buffer pool on each I/O node,
  which does prefetching in a somewhat novel way.}
