Large grid installations require global access to massive data stores. Parallel file systems give high throughput within a LAN, but cross-site data transfers lack seamless integra...
We describe our experiences with the Chubby lock service, which is intended to provide coarse-grained locking as well as reliable (though low-volume) storage for a loosely-coupled...
To increase the scale and performance of scientific applications, scientists commonly distribute computation over multiple processors. Often without realizing it, file I/O is pa...

In recent years, processor manufacturers have converged on two types of register file architectures. Both IBM with its POWER series and Intel with its Pentium series are using a ...
This paper proposes a strategy to reduce the amount of hardware involved in the solution of search engine queries. It proposes using a secondary compact cache that keeps minimal i...
