This paper focuses on evaluation of the effectiveness of optimization at various layers of the IO path, such as the file system, the device driver scheduler, and the disk drive i...
Storage virtualization is becoming more and more important due to the increasing gap between application requirements and the limited functionality offered by storage systems. In...
We present a method to evaluate path queries based on the novel concept of partial path instances. Our method (1) maximizes performance by means of sequential scans or asynchronou...
This paper studies distributed scheduling of parallel I/O data transfers on systems that provide data replication. In our previous work, we proposed a centralized algorithm for so...
As high-speed networks make it easier to use distributed resources, it becomes increasingly common that applications and their data are not colocated. Users have traditionally add...
