An essential building block for any Data Grid infrastructure is the storage server. In this paper we describe a high-performance cluster storage server built around the SDSC Stora...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
The increasingly common practice of replicating datasets and using resources as distributed data stores in Grid environments has led to the problem of determining which replica ca...
We describe Spectra, a remote execution system for batterypowered clients used in pervasive computing. Spectra enables applications to combine the mobility of small devices with t...
