  abstract = {Many scientific applications that run on today's multiprocessors
  are bottlenecked by their file I/O needs. Even if the multiprocessor is
  configured with sufficient I/O hardware, the file-system software often fails
  to provide the available bandwidth to the application. Although libraries and
  improved file-system interfaces can make a significant improvement, we
  believe that fundamental changes are needed in the file-server software. We
  propose a new technique, {\em disk-directed I/O}, that flips the usual
  relationship between server and client to allow the disks (actually, disk
  servers) to determine the flow of data for maximum performance. Our
  simulations show that tremendous performance gains are possible. Indeed,
  disk-directed I/O provided consistent high performance that was largely
  independent of data distribution, and close to the maximum disk bandwidth.},

  tech report contains newer numbers than those in the OSDI version, although
  the conclusions have not changed.}
