  comment = {They propose several enhancements to disk-directed I/O (see
  kotz:diskdir) that aim to improve performance on fine-grained distributions,
  that is, where each block from the disk is broken into small pieces that are
  scattered among the compute processors. One enhancement combines multiple
  pieces, possibly from separate disk blocks, into a single message. Another is
  to use two-phase I/O (see delrosario:two-phase), but to use disk-directed I/O
  to read data from the disks into CP memories, efficiently, then permute. This
  latter technique is probably faster than normal two-phase I/O that uses a
  traditional file system, not disk-directed I/O, for the read.}
