  comment = {Four major components: networking, memory servers, file system,
  and persistent object store. Networking part focuses on low-latency support
  communication within an application, between applications, and between
  machines (Bershad and Peterson). Memory servers, shared virtual memory, and
  checkpointing support (Kai Li). File systems support includes benchmarking,
  transparent informed prefetching (Gibson), a common interface for PFS and
  Vesta (Snir), and integrating secondary and tertiary storage systems
  (including the integration of the National Storage Lab's HPSS (see
  coyne:hpss) into this project in 1995). OSF/1 (Black) will be extended to
  support parallel file systems, extent-like behavior, and block coalescing.
  Persistent object store (DeWitt) is radical change to an object-oriented
  interface, transparent I/O (though extensible and changable with subclassing,
  presumably), and heterogeneous support via the Object Definition Language
  standard. Persistent objects may be integrated with the memory servers and
  shared virtual memory. See also poole:sio-survey, bagrodia:sio-character,
  choudhary:sio-language.}
