Modern computer systems are based on the traditional hierarchical file system model, but typically contain large numbers of files with complex interrelationships. This tradition...
Efficient full-text keyword search remains a challenging problem in P2P systems. Most of the traditional keyword search systems on DHT overlay networks perform the join operation ...
Solid state drives perform random reads more than 100x faster than traditional magnetic hard disks, while offering comparable sequential read and write bandwidth. Because of their...
