In this paper, we propose ExtraV, a framework for nearstorage graph processing. It is based on the novel concept of graph virtualization, which efficiently utilizes a cache-coherent hardware accelerator at the storage side to achieve performance and flexibility at the same time. ExtraV consists of four main components: 1) host processor, 2) main memory, 3) AFU (Accelerator Function Unit) and 4)...

objective: because of the host immunological system response against the minor blood groups of donor, transfusion in some cases, especially for patients require repeated transfusions (such as people with thalassemia), can be considered as a significant problem.  a proposed way is coating the surface antigens on red blood cells (rbcs) by covalent binding of methoxy polyethylene glycol (mpeg). th...

This white paper discusses practice considerations for the Dell/EMC CX3 FC/iSCSI storage systems. Included in this paper are considerations for host and network configuration as well as storage replication and performance.

Fusarium solain is the most important pathogen of huge range of plant hosts, especially potato in the word, which causes tuber rot in storage and root rot of potato plants in fields. Fifty four isolates from potato, bean, chickpea and cucurbit (melon, watermelon and cucumber) was subjected in a study through analysis of vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs) and rep-PCR DNA fingerprinting. Nit ...

This study determined the effects of cold storage on the survival, development and reproduction of the mymarid wasp, Gonatocerus ashmeadi Girault (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae). Following storage of the immature parasitoids within host eggs of the glassy-winged sharpshooter, Homalodisca vitripennis (Germar) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) under a daily fluctuating temperature for up to 50 d, the quality of...

In this paper we present StarFish, a highly-available geographically-dispersed block storage system built from commodity servers running FreeBSD, which are connected by standard high-speed IP networking gear. StarFish achieves high availability by transparently replicating data over multiple storage sites. StarFish is accessed via a host-site appliance that masquerades as a host-attached storag...

The combination of a removable storage device with a communication channel and a computation node is a common architectural theme in many system-on-chip (SOC) designs. The systems in which many of these devices are placed produce or consume digital media content from their removable storage devices, which are formatted with industrystandard file systems. When the communication channel is USB, t...
