Abstract. In this paper we study data replication in a mirrored disk system. Free disk space is exploited by keeping replicas of specific cylinders at appropriate disk locations. A...
The immensity of the datatransfer requirements of multimediaobjects will require multimediaservers tobe foundedon disk arrays. To effectively utilize a disk array, and hence to ma...
Abstract—Data movement within high performance environments can be a large bottleneck to the overall performance of programs. With the addition of continuous storage and usage of...
Freeblock scheduling is a new approach to utilizing more of disks' potential media bandwidths. By filling rotational latency periods with useful media transfers, 20{50% of a ...
