We defeat two proposed Unix file-system race condition defense mechanisms. First, we attack the probabilistic defense mechanism of Tsafrir, et al., published at USENIX FAST 2008[...
A peer-to-peer file sharing system includes a lookup and a content distribution protocol. Very efficient peer-to-peer protocols exist for content distribution, but efficient in...
In a distributed environment the utilization of file buffer caches in different clients may vary greatly. Cooperative caching is used to increase cache utilization by coordinatin...

In this paper we propose a high performance parallel file system over iSCSI (iPVFS) for cluster computing. iPVFS provides a cost-effective solution for heterogeneous cluster envi...
