As storage systems scale to thousands of disks, data distribution and load balancing become increasingly important. We present an algorithm for allocating data objects to disks as...
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...
Power consumption within the disk-based storage subsystem forms a substantial portion of the overall energy footprint in commodity systems. Researchers have proposed external cach...

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...
This paper describes and evaluates two algorithms for performing on-line failure recovery (data reconstruction) in redundant disk arrays. It presents an implementation of disk-ori...
