We propose a new parallel, noncollective I/O strategy called Distant I/O that targets clustered computer systems in which disks are attached to compute nodes. Distant I/O allows o...
We present the design and implementation of CGD, the CryptoGraphic Disk driver. CGD is a pseudo-device driver that sits below the buffer cache, and provides an encrypted view of a...
Similarity search is a key challenge for multimedia retrieval applications where data are usually represented in high-dimensional space. Among various algorithms proposed for simi...
We introduce Shear, a user-level software tool that characterizes RAID storage arrays. Shear employs a set of controlled algorithms combined with statistical techniques to automat...
