Many scientific applications manipulate large amount of data and, therefore, are parallelized on high-performance computing systems to take advantage of their computational power a...
Our goal with this paper is to contribute a common theoretical framework for studying the performance of disk-storage devices. Understanding the performance behavior of these devi...

— 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...
It is amazingly easy to get meaningless results when measuring flash devices, partly because of the peculiarity of flash memory, but primarily because their behavior is determin...
Cluster Storage Systems where storage devices are distributed across a large number of nodes are able to reduce the I/O bottleneck problems present in most centralized storage sys...
