In the Sprite environment, tolerating faults means recovering from them quickly. Our position is that performance and availability are the desired features of the typical locally-...
Grid computations require global access to massive data stores. To meet this need, the GridNFS project aims to provide scalable, high-performance, transparent, and secure wide-are...
Abstract--With the development of high-performance computing, I/O issues have become the bottleneck for many massively parallel applications. This paper investigates scalable paral...
