To address the limitations of centralized shared storage for cloud computing, we are building Lithium, a distributed storage system designed specifically for virtualization workl...
The large unstructured text collections demand full-text search capabilities from IR systems. Current systems typically allow users only to connect to a single database (or site) ...
Most state-of-the-art commercial storage virtualization systems focus only on one particular storage attribute, capacity. This paper describes the design, implementation and evalu...
Large real-time software systems such as real-time Java virtual machines often use barrier protocols, which work for a dynamically varying number of threads without using centrali...
Fragmentation can cause serious loss of memory in systems that are using dynamic memory management. Any useful memory management system must therefore provide means to limit fragm...
