We show that global cooperative cache management improves the collective I/O performance. The solution focuses on integrating disk parallelism with other types of parallelism: memory (by buffering and caching on several nodes), network (by parallel I/O scheduling strategies) and processors (by redistributing the I/O related computation over several nodes). The performance results show considerable throughput increases over ROMIO's extended two-phase I/O.} }
