We develop and evaluate a system for load management in shared-disk file systems built on clusters of heterogeneous computers. The system generalizes load balancing and server pr...
Integration—supporting multiple application classes with heterogeneous requirements—is an emerging trend in networks, file systems, and operating systems. In this paper, we e...
This paper describes measurement tests of Parallel Virtual File System (PVFS) and Network File System (NFS) over a commodity Linux cluster connected with Myrinet. PVFS stores a ...
This paper proposes to develop a system-wide energy consumption model for servers by making use of hardware performance counters and experimental measurements. We develop a real-t...
In cluster-based storage systems, the metadata server cluster must be able to adaptively distribute responsibility for metadata to maintain high system performance and long-term l...
