As computing breaches petascale limits both in processor performance and storage capacity, the only way that current and future gains in performance can be achieved is by increasi...
Abstract—Parallel file systems are designed to mask the everincreasing gap between CPU and disk speeds via parallel I/O processing. While they have become an indispensable compo...
In a data intensive Grid system, many data replica schemes and models have been proposed to improve the system response time or data consistency, but little attention has been pai...
The problem of statically assigning nonpartitioned files in a parallel I/O system has been extensively investigated. A basic workload characteristic assumption of existing solutio...
