Existing data grid scheduling systems handle huge data I/O via replica location services coupled with simple staging, decoupled from scheduling of computing tasks. However, when th...
File swarming (or file sharing) is one of the most important applications in P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a stochastic framework to analyze a file swarming system und...

This paper examines the application of Tornado Codes, a class of low density parity check (LDPC) erasure codes, to archival storage systems based on massive arrays of idle disks (...
Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
