  abstract = {This paper presents a Parallel Disk System (PDS) for general
  purpose multiprocessors, which provides support for conventional file systems
  and databases, as well as direct access for applications requiring high
  performance mass storage. We present a systematic method to characterize a
  parallel I/O system, using it to evaluate PDS and to identify an optimal PDS
  configuration. Several devices (single disk, Raid3 and Raid5), and different
  configurations of I/O nodes, each one with a different type of device, have
  been simulated. Throughput and I/O rate of each configuration have been
  obtained for the former configurations and different types of workloads
  (database, general purpose and scientific applications).},
