One of the reasons that search performance of peerto-peer file-sharing systems is poor is that results are poorly described, hurting the client’s ability to rank them. This is a...
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...
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...

We consider the problem of information retrieval in a peerto-peer file sharing system. We assume that peers are unreliable, metadata are sparse, and queries are short. In light o...
Abstract—Today’s computational science demands have resulted in ever larger parallel computers, and storage systems have grown to match these demands. Parallel file systems us...
