  abstract = {As the I/O needs of parallel scientific applications increase,
  file systems for multiprocessors are being designed to provide applications
  with parallel access to multiple disks. Many parallel file systems present
  applications with a conventional Unix-like interface that allows the
  application to access multiple disks transparently. This interface conceals
  the parallelism within the file system, which increases the ease of
  programmability, but makes it difficult or impossible for sophisticated
  programmers and libraries to use knowledge about their I/O needs to exploit
  that parallelism. Furthermore, most current parallel file systems are
  optimized for a different workload than they are being asked to support. We
  introduce Galley, a new parallel file system that is intended to efficiently
  support realistic parallel workloads. We discuss Galley's file structure and
  application interface, as well as an application that has been implemented
  using that interface.},
