  abstract = {We propose a new parallel, noncollective I/O strategy called
  Distant I/O that targets clustered computer systems in which disks are
  attached to compute nodes. Distant I/O allows one-sided access to remote
  secondary storage without installing server processes or daemons on remote
  compute nodes. We implemented this model using Active Messages and
  demonstrated its performance advantages over the PIOFS parallel filesystem
  for an I/O-intensive parallel application on the IBM SP.}
