This paper presents a performance comparison of several file system allocation policies. The file systems are designed to provide high bandwidth between disks and main memory by...
—In addition to their role as simulation engines, modern supercomputers can be harnessed for scientific visualization. Their extensive concurrency, parallel storage systems, and...

Grid computations require global access to massive data stores. To meet this need, the GridNFS project aims to provide scalable, high-performance, transparent, and secure wide-are...
Abstract: Intra-operator(or partitioned) parallelism is a well-established mechanism for achieving high performance in parallel database systems. However, the problem of how to exp...
Parallel I/O plays an increasingly important role in today’s data intensive computing applications. While much attention has been paid to parallel read performance, most of this...
