We describe the design and implementation of a high performance cloud that we have used to archive, analyze and mine large distributed data sets. By a cloud, we mean an infrastruc...
In this paper we describe an analytical technique for the performance evaluation of wide-area networks carrying realistic TCP traffic, such as that produced by a large number of f...
Abstract— An efficient, accurate and distributed metadataoriented prefetching scheme is critical to the overall performance in large distributed storage systems. In this paper, ...
The designers of a large scale video-on-demand system face an optimization problem of deciding how to assign movies to multiple disks (servers) such that the request blocking proba...
