Networking software is a growing bottleneck in modern workstations, particularly for high throughput applications such as networked digital video. We measure various components of...
Robotic storage devices offer huge storage capacity at a low cost per byte, but with large access times. Integrating these devices into the storage hierarchy presents a challenge ...
Discovering different types of file resources (such as documentation, programs, and images) in the vast amount of data contained within network file systems is useful for both u...
