Parallel I/O Bibliography

This bibliography supercedes my older bibliographies.

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.

Please send any additions or corrections (new abstracts and URLs would be great!) to parallel-io-bib@listserv.dartmouth.edu. They will be processed quickly; an updated bibliography is released each week.

You may use the bibliography as you please except for publishing it as a whole, since the compilation is mine.

The bibliography is available in several forms:

Note also that there are two annotated bibliographies:

HTML versions of the bibliography were produced with bib2html.

If you're interested in hearing about additions, deletions, or changes to the bibliography, subscribe to the parallel-io-bib mailing list. You will receive at most three messages per week (additions, deletions, and changes). Most likely, you will receive only a 3-4 messages each month. Subscribe by sending mail to LISTSERV@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU with the body SUBSCRIBE PARALLEL-IO-BIB.

You should receive a message within 24 hours asking you to confirm your subscription. Sorry about this extra step but we've had a rash of pranskters who subscribe others to hundreds of lists without their permission (a new form of spamming!).

Ninth edition
February 22, 1997

The eighth edition was the last "static" version, that is, updated only biannually. Beginning with the ninth edition I moved to an automated weekly update system. Thus, the ninth edition was the first bibliography issued in the continuous series available above.

Between the eighth and ninth editions, I added 97 references. For the record I provide access to the list of entries added between the eighth and ninth editions. For a list of entries added since the ninth edition, see the history.

Just the entries new to the ninth edition:
