Extendible hashing is a kind of fast indexing technology; it provides with a way of storing structural data records so that each of them can be gotten very quickly. In this paper,...
We consider a data-structural problem motivated by version control of a hierarchical directory structure in a system like Subversion. The model is that directories and files can b...
As random access memory gets cheaper, it becomes increasingly affordable to build computers with large main memories. We consider decision support workloads within the context of...
—Lustre is becoming an increasingly important file system for large-scale computing clusters. The problem, however, is that many data-intensive applications use MPI-IO for their ...
Large writes are beneficial both on individual disks and on disk arrays, e.g., RAID-5. The presented design enables large writes of internal B-tree nodes and leaves. It supports b...
