In a cluster of multiple processors or cpu-cores, many processes may run on each compute node. Each process tends to issue contiguous I/O requests for snapshot, checkpointing or s...
Abstract—Since the advent of multi-core processors, the physionomy of typical clusters has dramatically evolved. This new massively multi-core era is a major change in architectu...
Recently there has been renewed interest in building reliable servers that support continuous application operation. Besides maintaining system state consistent after a failure, o...
Abstract. Current approaches to parallel I/O demand extensive user effort to obtain acceptable performance. This is in part due to difficulties in understanding the characteristics...
