Neat communications support makes for user-mode message-passing, broadcasting, reductions, all built in. Lots of info here. File system calls allows data to be transferred in parallel directly from I/O node to processing node, bypassing the partition and I/O management nodes. Multiple I/O devices (even DataVaults) can be logically striped. See also best:cmmdio, loverso:sfs, think:cmmd, think:sda.} }
