A Usage Proole and Evaluation of a Wide-area Distributed File System
نویسنده
چکیده
The evolution of the Andrew File System (AFS) into a wide-area distributed le system has encouraged collaboration and information dissemination on a much broader scale than ever before. In this paper, we examine AFS as a provider of wide-area le services to over 80 organizations around the world. We discuss usage characteristics of AFS derived from empirical measurements of the system, and from user responses to a questionnaire. Our observations indicate that AFS provides robust and eecient data access in its current connguration, thus connrming its viability as a design point for wide-area distributed le systems.

متن کاملExperience of using the Chirp distributed file system in ATLAS
Chirp is a user-level file system specifically designed for the wide area network, and developed by the University of Notre Dame CCL group. We describe the design features making it particularly suited to the Grid environment, and to ATLAS use cases. The deployment and usage within ATLAS distributed computing are discussed, together with scaling tests and evaluation for the various use cases.
متن کاملEffect of Distributed Power-Flow Controller (DPFC) on Power System Stability
Distributed flexible AC- transmission system (D-FACTS) is a recently advanced FACTS device with high flexibility and smaller size. The DPFC can control power flow in transmission lines, regulate bus voltages and it can also enhance stability margin in power grids. Adaptive-neural network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) combines features of artificial neural network and fuzzy controller. Th...
متن کاملA Distributed File System for a Wide-Area High Performance Computing Infrastructure
We describe our work in implementing a wide-area distributed file system for the NSF TeraGrid. The system, called XUFS, allows private distributed name spaces to be created for transparent access to personal files across over 9000 computer nodes. XUFS builds on many principles from prior distributed file systems research, but extends key design goals to support the workflow of computational sci...
