We assume a link-register communication model under read/write atomicity, where every process can read from but cannot write into its neighbours' registers. The paper present...
The tradeoffs between consistency, performance, and availability are well understood. Traditionally, however, designers of replicated systems have been forced to choose from eithe...
Freeblock scheduling is a new approach to utilizing more of disks' potential media bandwidths. By filling rotational latency periods with useful media transfers, 20{50% of a ...

Storage Latency Estimation Descriptors, or SLEDs, are an API that allow applications to understand and take advantage of the dynamic state of a storage system. By accessing data i...
Out-of-core applications consume physical resources at a rapid rate, causing interactive applications sharing the same machine to exhibit poor response times. This behavior is the...
