This bibliography was created by David Kotz and Ron Oldfield.
This bibliography covers parallel I/O, with a significant emphasis on file systems rather than, say, network or graphics I/O. This includes architecture, operating systems, some algorithms, some databases, and some workload characterization. Because of the expanding nature of this field, I cannot cover everything, and this bibliography is admittedly spotty on topics like disk arrays, parallel databases, and parallel networking.
The entries are alphabetized by cite key. The emphasis is on including everything I have, rather than selecting a few key articles of interest. Thus, you probably don't want (or need) to read everything here. There are many repeated entries, in the sense that a paper is often published first as a TR, then in a conference, then in a journal. Where possible, I have linked together the versions of a paper using the "earlier" and "later" tags in BibTeX, which translate into links on the HTML version.
Except where noted, all comments are mine, and any opinions expressed there are mine only. In some cases I am simply restating the opinion or result obtained by the paper's authors, and thus even I might disagree with the statement. I keep most editorial comments to a minimum.
There are also two annotated bibliographies:
