  abstract =      {New file systems are critical to obtain good I/O performance on large multiprocessors. Several researchers have suggested the use of \emph{collective} file-system operations, in which all processes in an application cooperate in each I/O request. Others have suggested that the traditional low-level interface (\emph{read, write, seek}) be augmented with various higher-level requests (e.g., \emph{read matrix}). Collective, high-level requests permit a technique called \emph{disk-directed I/O} to significantly improve performance over traditional file systems and interfaces, at least on simple I/O benchmarks. In this paper, we present the results of experiments with an ``out-of-core'' LU-decomposition program. Although its collective interface was awkward in some places, and forced additional synchronization, disk-directed I/O was able to obtain much better overall performance than the traditional system.},
