We present the Network File System with Cluster Delegation (NFS-CD), an enhancement to the NFSv4 that reduces server load and increases the scalability of distributed file systems ...
In this paper, we describe an algorithm and implementation of locality optimizations for architectures with instruction sets such as Intel’s SSE and Motorola’s AltiVec that su...
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...
In a distributed file system built on network attached storage, client computers access data directly from shared storage, rather than submitting I/O requests through a server. W...

Many computer hardware and software architectures buffer data in memory to improve system performance. Volatile disk or file caches are sometimes used to delay the propagation of ...
