Silverback: A Global-Scale Archival System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The rise of ubiquitous computing has created a need for wide-area durable storage. We propose a model and interface for such an archival system, that stores data in a durable, verifiable, available, and self-maintainable manner. We argue that such a system can be created by using novel techniques of erasure codes, secure hashing, and decentralized wide-area location infrastructures to distribute fragments across the wide-area on an arbitrary set of servers. This model allows files to remain available even as servers fail. Finally, we implement Silverback, a prototype archival system using the model that we developed, and measure its performance.

متن کاملSilverback and the Archival Layer of OceanStore
Silverback, coupled with the OceanStore archival layer, is a backup/archival system that is designed to increase the availability of data by allowing file servers to distribute archival copies of files across an arbitrary set of servers. The system uses erasure codes as a means to recreate data in the event that one or more servers fail. As a result, files will still be available in the event o...
متن کاملSilverback: Scalable Association Mining For Massive Temporal Data in Columnar Probabilistic Databases
We investigate large scale probabilistic association mining on modest hardware infrastructure. We first propose a probabilistic columnar infrastructure for storing the transaction database. Using Bloom filters and reservoir sampling techniques, the storage is e cient and probabilistic. Then we propose an accurate probabilistic algorithm for mining frequent item-sets. Our algorithm relies on the...
متن کاملWild Western Lowland Gorillas Signal Selectively Using Odor
Mammals communicate socially through visual, auditory and chemical signals. The chemical sense is the oldest sense and is shared by all organisms including bacteria. Despite mounting evidence for social chemo-signaling in humans, the extent to which it modulates behavior is debated and can benefit from comparative models of closely related hominoids. The use of odor cues in wild ape social comm...
متن کاملSocial Interactions Between Captive Adult Male and Infant Lowland Gorillas: Implications Regarding Kin Selection and Zoo Management
Interactions between unrelated and related silverback-infant dyads are compared in an attempt to assess the influence that kinship may have on male parental behavior. Observational data were collected on each member of two silverbackinfant dyads, in two separate enclosures at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago, IL. The silverback was the father of the infant in one dyad, and unrelated to the infan...
