Modular Scalable I/O

We describe design issues for scalable I/O systems. I/O system modularity is the central issue. We identify the new information and algorithms responsible for high performance in scalable I/O. We show how to assign them to the parts of a scalable computer system so the result is modular. We built a modular I/O system and it is commercially available. We describe its design and performance benchmarks using it.
