Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
Replication is a key technique for improving fault tolerance. Replication can also improve application performance under some circumstances, but can have the opposite effect under...
Large grid installations require global access to massive data stores. Parallel file systems give high throughput within a LAN, but cross-site data transfers lack seamless integra...
