Grid computations require global access to massive data stores. To meet this need, the GridNFS project aims to provide scalable, high-performance, transparent, and secure wide-are...
—Lustre is becoming an increasingly important file system for large-scale computing clusters. The problem, however, is that many data-intensive applications use MPI-IO for their ...
Despite increasingly distributed internet information sources with diverse storage formats and access-control constraints, most of the end applications (e.g., filters and media p...
— Peer-peer networking has recently emerged as a new paradigm for building distributed networked applications. In this paper we develop simple mathematical models to explore and ...
