This paper presents a new distributed disk-array architecture for achieving high I/O
performance in scalable cluster computing. In a serverless cluster of computers, all …

A majority of parallel applications achieve parallelism by partitioning data over multiple
processors. Accessing distributed data structures such as arrays from files often requires …

We present the results of a variety of trace-driven simulations of disk cache designs using
traces from a variety of mainframe timesharing and database systems in production use. We …

Parallel machines are an important part of the scientific application developer's tool box and
the processing demands placed on these machines are rapidly increasing. Many scientific …

This paper presents the architecture of an integrated caching and prefetching mechanism for
distributed parallel file systems. By combining techniques for efficient data placement in the …

The area of parallel and distributed computing has grown very fast in the past few decades
with the aim of offering vast computational capabilities that applications can tap into …

Many scientific applications tend to perform high-volume data storage, data retrieval, and
data processing, all of which demand high performance from the I/O subsystem. The focus …

An integrated caching and prefetching mechanism for a parallel network file system has the
potential to improve both the speed and performance of I/O operations. Different cache …

In a serverless cluster of computers, all local disks can be integrated as a distributed
software RAID (ds-RAID) with a single I/O space. This paper presents the architecture and …
