  comment = {They propose an intermediate interface that can serve as an
  implementation base for all parallel file-system APIs, and which can itself
  be implemented on top of all parallel file systems. This ``universal''
  interface allows all apps to run on all file systems with no porting, and for
  people to experiment with different APIs.}
