Parallel file systems are widely used in clusters to provide high performance I/O. However, most of the existing parallel file systems are based on UNIX-like operating systems. W...
In this paper, we propose a modified parallel virtual file system that provides snapshot functionality. Because typical file systems are exposed to various failures, taking a s...
—As parallel file systems span larger and larger numbers of nodes in order to provide the performance and scalability necessary for modern cluster applications, the need for fau...
Due to the ever-widening performance gap between processors and disks, I/O operations tend to become the major performance bottleneck of data-intensive applications on modern clus...
