Practical Prefetching Techniques for Parallel File Systems
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...

dRamDisk: efficient RAM sharing on a commodity cluster
Recent work on distributed RAM sharing has largely focused on leveraging low-latency networking technologies to optimize remote memory access. In contrast, we revisit the idea of ...

The Case for Efficient File Access Pattern Modeling
Most modern I/O systems treat each file access independently. However, events in a computer system are driven by programs. Thus, accesses to files occur in consistent patterns and...

Data Replication and Delay Balancing in Heterogeneous Disk Systems
Declustering and replication are well known techniques used to improve response time of queries in parallel disk environments. As data replication incurs a penalty for updates, da...

The RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project (REDCAP)
This paper presents the RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project, REDCAP, a new cache of disk blocks which reduces the read I/O time by using a small portion of the main memory. The essent...
