  comment = {A modification to the Unix file system to allow for supercomputer
  access. Workload: file size from few KB to few GB, I/O operation size from
  few bytes to hundreds of MB. Generally programs split into I/O-bound and
  CPU-bound parts. Sequential and random access. Needs: giant files (bigger
  than device), peak hardware performance for large files, NFS access. Their FS
  is built into Unix ``transparently''. Space allocated in clusters, rather
  than blocks; clusters might be as big as a cylinder. Allows for efficient,
  large files. Mentions parallel disks as part of a ``virtual volume'' but does
  not elaborate. Prefetching within a cluster.}
