IOBUF

IOBUF is an I/O buffering library. iobuf intercepts the I/O calls (open, read, etc.) from a program and provides an additional layer of buffering. In the case of XT3, iobuf replaces the stdio (glibc/libio) layer of buffering. By asynchronously prefetching and caching file data, I/O wait time for programs which read or write large file sequentially can be reduced.

Installed on BigBen.
