  abstract = {We sketch the reasons for the I/O bottleneck in parallel and
  distributed systems, pointing out that it can be viewed as a special case of
  a general bottleneck that arises at all levels of the memory hierarchy. We
  argue that because of its severity, the I/O bottleneck deserves systematic
  attention at all levels of system design. We then present a survey of the
  issues raised by the I/O bottleneck in six key areas of parallel and
  distributed systems: applications, algorithms, languages and compilers,
  run-time libraries, operating systems, and architecture.}
