We introduce external synchrony, a new model for local file I/O that provides the reliability and simplicity of synchronous I/O, yet also closely approximates the performance of a...

Rapid technological change requires that system designers explore potential design spaces widely before committing to a local design space in which to evolve a problem solution. W...
Several efforts have been made over the years for developing file systems in user space. Many of these efforts have failed to make a significant impact as measured by their us...
Existing Grid workflow tools assume that individual components either communicate by passing files from one application to another, or are explicitly linked using interprocess com...
