Serverless Network File Systems

by Thomas E. Anderson, Michael D. Dahlin, Jeanna M. Neefe, David A. Patterson, Drew S. Roselli, Randolph Y. Wang - ACM TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER SYSTEMS , 1995
"... In this paper, we propose a new paradigm for network file system design, serverless network file systems. While traditional network file systems rely on a central server machine, a serverless system utilizes workstations cooperating as peers to provide all file system services. Any machine in the sy ..."

. For instance, in a 32-node xFS system with 32 active clients, each client receives nearly as much read or write throughput as it would see if it were the only active client.

Resilient Overlay Networks

by David Andersen, Hari Balakrishnan, Frans Kaashoek, Robert Morris , 2001
"... A Resilient Overlay Network (RON) is an architecture that allows distributed Internet applications to detect and recover from path outages and periods of degraded performance within several seconds, improving over today’s wide-area routing protocols that take at least several minutes to recover. A R ..."

, optimizing application-specific routing metrics. Results from two sets of measurements of a working RON deployed at sites scattered across the Internet demonstrate the benefits of our architecture. For instance, over a 64-hour sampling period in March 2001 across a twelve-node RON, there were 32 significant

Tor: The secondgeneration onion router,”

by Roger Dingledine - in 13th USENIX Security Symposium. Usenix, , 2004
"... Abstract We present Tor, a circuit-based low-latency anonymous communication service. This second-generation Onion Routing system addresses limitations in the original design by adding perfect forward secrecy, congestion control, directory servers, integrity checking, configurable exit policies, an ..."

Loopy belief propagation for approximate inference: An empirical study. In:

by Kevin P Murphy , Yair Weiss , Michael I Jordan - Proceedings of Uncertainty in AI, , 1999
"... Abstract Recently, researchers have demonstrated that "loopy belief propagation" -the use of Pearl's polytree algorithm in a Bayesian network with loops -can perform well in the context of error-correcting codes. The most dramatic instance of this is the near Shannon-limit performanc ..."

likelihood weighting 3.1 The PYRAMID network All nodes were binary and the conditional probabilities were represented by tables-entries in the conditional probability tables (CPTs) were chosen uniformly in the range (0, 1]. 3.2 The toyQMR network All nodes were binary and the conditional probabilities

Scalability in the XFS file system

by Adam Sweeney - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1996 USENIX ANNUAL TECHNICAL CONFERENCE , 1996
"... In this paper we describe the architecture and design of a new file system, XFS, for Silicon Graphics’ IRIX operating system. It is a general purpose file system for use on both workstations and servers. The focus of the paper is on the mechanisms used by XFS to scale capacity and performance in sup ..."

xFS: A Wide Area Mass Storage File System

by Randolph Wang, Olph Y. Wang, Thomas E. Anderson - In Fourth Workshop on Workstation Operating Systems , 1993
"... The current generation of file systems are inadequate in facing the new technological challenges of wide area networks and massive storage. xFS is a prototype file system we are developing to explore the issues brought about by these technological advances. xFS adapts many of the techniques used in ..."

Abstract Porting the SGI XFS File System to Linux

by Jim Mostek, William Earl, Dan Koren, Russell Cattelan, Kenneth Preslan, Sistina Software Inc
"... In late 1994, SGI released an advanced, journaled file system called XFS on IRIX, their System-V-derived version of UNIX. Since that time, XFS has proven itself in production as a fast, highly scalable file system suitable for computer systems ranging from the desktop to supercomputers. In early 199 ..."

Abstract Failure Analysis of SGI XFS File System

by Krishna Pradeep Tamma, Shreepadma Venugopalan
"... Commodity file systems expect a fail stop disk. But todays disks fail in unexpected ways. Disks exhibit latent sector errors, silent corruption and transient failures to name a few. In this paper we study the behavior of SGI XFS to such errors. File systems play a key role in handling most data and ..."
