Replicated file-systems can experience degraded performance that might not be adequately handled by the underlying fault-tolerant protocols. We describe the design and implementa...
Previous studies indicate that I/O could become a performance bottleneck in commodity PC-based cluster Web servers. Current local native file systems do not work well for expensiv...
Many parallel scientific applications need high-performance I/O. Unfortunately, end-to-end parallel-I/O performance has not been able to keep up with substantial improvements in p...
In petabyte-scale distributed file systems that decouple read and write from metadata operations, behavior of the metadata server cluster will be critical to overall system perfo...

An inexpensive way to construct a scalable display wall system is to use a cluster of PCs with commodity graphics accelerators to drive an array of projectors. A challenge is to b...
