As the number of I/O-intensive MPI programs becomes increasingly large, many efforts have been made to improve I/O performance, on both software and architecture sides. On the sof...
Noncontiguous data access is a very common access pattern in many scientific applications. Using POSIX I/O to access many pieces of noncontiguous data segments will generate a lot...
Recently overlay networks have emerged as an efficient and flexible method for content distribution. An overlay network is a network running on top of another network, usually the ...
Several recent studies have proposed methods to accelerate the receipt of a file by downloading its parts from different servers in parallel. The schemes suggested in most propose...
This paper studies distributed scheduling of parallel I/O data transfers on systems that provide data replication. In our previous work, we proposed a centralized algorithm for so...
