  abstract = {Although hardware supporting parallel file I/O has improved
  greatly since the introduction of first-generation parallel computers, the
  programming interface has not. Each vendor provides a different logical view
  of parallel files as well as nonportable operations for manipulating files.
  Neither do parallel languages provide standards for performing I/O. In this
  paper, we describe a view of parallel files for data-parallel languages,
  dubbed Stream*, in which each virtual processor writes to and reads from its
  own stream. In this scheme each virtual processor's I/O operations have the
  same familiar, unambiguous meaning as in a sequential C program. We
  demonstrate how I/O operations in Stream* can run as fast as those of
  vendor-specific parallel file systems on the operations most often
  encountered in data-parallel programs. We show how this system supports
  general virtual processor operations for debugging and elemental functions.
  Finally, we present empirical results from a prototype Stream* system running
  on a Meiko CS-2 multicomputer.},
  comment = {See moore:stream; nearly identical. See also moore:detection. This
  paper gives a little bit earlier description of the Stream* idea than does
  moore:detection, but you'd be pretty much complete just reading
  moore:detection.}
