We present an architecture and hardware for scheduling gigabit packet streams in server clusters that combines a Network Processor datapath and an FPGA for use in server NICs and ...
A “Storage-Area Network” (SAN) comprises computers (“Initiators”), storage “block devices” (“Targets”), and a Controller(s). Most SANs use the SCSI protocol over v...
With the advent of computational grids, networking performance over the wide-area network (WAN) has become a critical component in the grid infrastructure. Unfortunately, many hig...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
We describe a decentralized, adaptive mechanism for replica location in wide-area distributed systems. Unlike traditional, hierarchical (e.g, DNS) and more recent (e.g., CAN, Chor...
