A further description of the PIOUS parallel file system for cluster computing. (Beta-test version available for ftp). They support parafiles, which are collections of segments, each segment residing on a different server. The segments can be viewed separately or can be interleaved into a linear sequence using an arbitrary chunk size. They also support transactions to support sequential consistency.} }
