  comment = {See also grimshaw:elfs, grimshaw:ELFSTR, grimshaw:objects, and
  karpovich:*. This is also available as UVA TR CS-94-28. This paper focuses
  more on the objec-oriented nature of ELFS than on its ability to support
  parallel I/O. It also describes two classes they've developed, one for 2d
  dense matrices and another for range queries on multidimensional sparse data
  sets. It does have some new performance numbers for ELFS on Intel CFS.}
