In the past decade parallel disk systems have been highly scalable and able to alleviate the problem of disk I/O bottleneck, thereby being widely used to support a wide range of d...
This paper shows a multisequential model to exploit OR parallelism on distributed memory systems. It presents an implementation of the incremental copy mechanism oriented to distr...
—Multiple processors or multi-core CPUs are now in common, and the number of processes running concurrently is increasing in a cluster. Each process issues contiguous I/O request...
Abstract. We consider the use of a cluster system for Application Service Provider (ASP). In the ASP context, hosted applications and databases can be update-intensive and must rem...
With the fast technical improvement, flash memory based Solid State Drives (SSDs) are becoming an important part of the computer storage hierarchy to significantly improve perfo...
