Programmers of message-passing codes for clusters of workstations face a daunting challenge in understanding the performance bottlenecks of their applications. This is largely due...
An essential building block for any Data Grid infrastructure is the storage server. In this paper we describe a high-performance cluster storage server built around the SDSC Stora...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
Despite continued innovations in design of I/O systems, I/O performance has not kept pace with the progress in processor and communication technology. This paper addresses this I/...
