Towards High-Performance Application-Level Storage Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a radical re-architecture of the traditional operating system storage stack to move the kernel off the data path. Leveraging virtualized I/O hardware for disk and flash storage, most read and write I/O operations go directly to application code. The kernel dynamically allocates extents, manages the virtual to physical binding, and performs name translation. The benefit is to dramatically reduce the CPU overhead of storage operations while improving application flexibility.

Towards a QoS-aware Virtualised Storage System
Every organisation depends critically on reliable high-performance storage. Driven by the high costs of maintaining and managing multiple local storage systems, there is a trend towards virtualised multi-tier storage infrastructures. The main limitation of such centralised solutions is their inability to guarantee application-level Quality of Service (QoS) without extensive and ongoing human in...

The markets globalization is one of the factors creating conditions for the development of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship does not have one generally accepted definition. Most often, entrepreneurship is perceived as the ability to increase the number of enterprises. Entrepreneurship can be understood as the potential to identify and use development opportunities regardless of own resources....
متن کاملTowards a Scalable Metacomputing Storage Service
We describe a prototypical storage service through which we are addressing some of the open storage issues in wide-area distributed high-performance computing. We discuss some of the relevant topics such as latency-tolerance, hierarchical storage integration, and legacy and commercial application support. Existing high-performance computing environments are either ad-hoc or focus narrowly on th...
