These hints seem to take the form of a sequence (all in order) or a set (only one of many, from conditional expressions). The hints come from each process, not collectively. Then, the I/O node keeps these specifications and uses them to drive prefetching when there is no other work to do. They rotate among the specifications of many processes. Later they hope to examine more complex scheduling strategies and buffer-space allocation strategies.} }
