This paper proposes to develop a system-wide energy consumption model for servers by making use of hardware performance counters and experimental measurements. We develop a real-t...
Faster networks and cheaper storage have brought us to a point where I/O caching servers have an important role in the design of scalable, high-performance file systems. These int...
A vertically structured Operating System is one in which neither the “kernel” nor “servers” perform work on behalf of applications – the former because it exists only to...

Integration—supporting multiple application classes with heterogeneous requirements—is an emerging trend in networks, file systems, and operating systems. In this paper, we e...
Recently, power has emerged as a critical factor in designing components of storage systems, especially for power-hungry data centers. While there is some research into power-awar...
