Despite many competitors, Ethernet became the dominant protocol for local area networking due to its simplicity, robustness, and efficiency in wide variety of conditions and tech...
In this paper, we propose a novel Single I/O Space architecture for achieving a Single System Image (SSI) at the I/O subsystem level. This is very much desired in a scalable clust...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
The multi-level storage architecture has been widely adopted in servers and data centers. However, while prefetching has been shown as a crucial technique to exploit the sequentia...
Ring networks are enjoying renewed interest as Storage Area Networks (SANs), i.e., networks for interconnecting storage devices (e.g., disk, disk arrays and tape drives) and stora...
