—We present Coerced Cache Eviction (CCE), a new method to force writes to disk in the presence of a disk cache that does not properly obey write-cache configuration or flush re...
Despite a low occurrence rate, silent data corruption represents a growing concern for storage systems designers. Throughout the storage hierarchy, from the file system down to th...
With an ever increasing amount of data to store, hierarchical storage management (HSM) systems must still use tape for tertiary storage. A disk cache is used to reduce the access ...
We consider a system in which many users run queries to examine subsets of a large object set. The object set is partitioned into files on tape. A single subset of objects will b...
In a previous paper [Shoshani et al 99], we described a system called STACS (Storage Access Coordination System) for High Energy and Physics (HEP) experiments. These experiments g...

The file-bundle caching problem arises frequently in scientific applications where jobs process several files concurrently. Consider a host system in a data-grid that maintains...
