Low disk throughput is one of the main impediments to improving the performance of data-intensive servers. In this paper, we propose two management techniques for the disk control...
is a unifying abstraction that simplifies data management by encapsulating different physical representations of the same logical data. Similar to a quBit (quantum bit), the parti...

While many block replacement algorithms for buffer caches have been proposed to address the wellknown drawbacks of the LRU algorithm, they are not robust and cannot maintain a cons...
Farsite is a secure, scalable file system that logically functions as a centralized file server but is physically distributed among a set of untrusted computers. Farsite provides ...
