We identify crucial design issues in building a distributed inverted index for a large collection of web pages. We introduce a novel pipelining technique for structuring the core ...
Lustre is a parallel file system that presents high aggregated IO bandwidth by striping file extents across many storage devices. However, our experiments indicate excessively wid...

Most recovery schemes that have been proposed for Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) systems require unnecessarily high checkpointing frequency and checkpoint traffic, which are sens...
This paper takes a renewed look at the problem of managing intermediate data that is generated during dataflow computations (e.g., MapReduce, Pig, Dryad, etc.) within clouds. We d...

Unpredictability in COTS-based systems often manifests as occasional instances of uncontrollably-high response times. A particular category of COTS systems, fault-tolerant (FT) mid...
