—As parallel file systems span larger and larger numbers of nodes in order to provide the performance and scalability necessary for modern cluster applications, the need for fau...
The vulnerability of computer nodes due to component failures is a critical issue for cluster-based file systems. This paper studies the development and deployment of mirroring in...
Mirror sites approach has been proposed recently for reducing the access delay and providing load balancing in network servers. In the mirror site approach a file, such as a multi...
Striping is a technique that distributes file content over multiple storage servers and thereby enables parallel access. In order to be able to provide a consistent view across fi...
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...
