I am doing some research in the area of disk I/O and filesystems for
parallel processors. Does anyone have any references, addresses, or
relevant information on the I/O capabilities and strategies taken by
the various commercial multiprocessors? (eg Encore, Sequent,
hypercubes, Connection Machine, etc). 

Also, any references regarding disk striping, disk caching and
prefetching, parallel disk I/O, etc would be most welcome. 

PLEASE PLEASE use e-mail as I don't read all of the groups I've posted
this message to.

Thanks in advance,
David Kotz
