Improving Parallel-Disk Buffer Management using Randomized Writeback
We address the problems of I/O scheduling and buffer management for general reference strings in a parallel I/O system. Using the standard parallel disk model withD disks and a sh...

Caching and writeback policies in parallel file systems
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...

Competitive Parallel Disk Prefetching and Buffer Management
We provide a competitive analysis framework for online prefetching and buffer management algorithms in parallel I/O systems, using a read-once model of block references. This has ...

A Simple and Efficient Parallel Disk Mergesort
External sorting--the process of sorting a file that is too large to fit into the computer's internal memory and must be stored externally on disks--is a fundamental subroutin...

Plugging versus logging: a new approach to write buffer management for solid-state disks
Using device write buffers is a promising technique to improve the write performance of solid-state disks. The write buffer not only reduces the write traffic to the flash but als...
