Faster networks and cheaper storage have brought us to a point where I/O caching servers have an important role in the design of scalable, high-performance file systems. These int...
There is an increasing need for new Web server architectures that are application-centric, simple, small, and pervasive in nature. In this paper, we present a novel architecture f...
Parallel file subsystems in today’s high-performance computers adopt many I/O optimization strategies that were designed for distributed systems. These strategies, for instance...

Previous scalable protocols for downloading large, popular files from a single server include batching and cyclic multicast. With batching, clients wait to begin receiving a reque...
