— This paper introduces a new benchmark tool, SPEK (Storage Performance Evaluation Kernel module), for evaluating the performance of block-level storage systems in the presence o...
Increasingly scientific discoveries are driven by analyses of massively distributed bulk data. This has led to the proliferation of high-end mass storage systems, storage area clu...
In this paper we attempt to parallelise a commodity database for OLAP on a cluster of commodity PCs by using a distributed high-performance storage subsystem. By parallelising the...
