Caching in the Sprite Network File System

by Michael N. Nelson, Brent B. Welch, John K. Ousterhout - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... The Sprite network operating system uses large main-memory disk block caches to achieve high performance in its file system. It provides non-write-through file caching on both client and server machines. A simple cache consistency mechanism permits files to be shared by multiple clients without dang ..."

A Hierarchical Internet Object Cache

by Anawat Chankhunthod , Peter B. Danzig, Chuck Neerdaels, Michael F. Schwartz, Kurt J. Worrell - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1996 USENIX TECHNICAL CONFERENCE , 1995
"... This paper discusses the design andperformance of a hierarchical proxy-cache designed to make Internet information systems scale better. The design was motivated by our earlier trace-driven simulation study of Internet traffic. We believe that the conventional wisdom, that the benefits of hierarch ..."

, we relate our experience fitting the cache into the increasingly complex and operational world of Internet information systems, including issues related to security, transparency to cache-unaware clients, and the role of file systems in support of ubiquitous wide-area information systems.

The Google File System

by Sanjay Ghemawat, Howard Gobioff, Shun-tak Leung - ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review
"... We have designed and implemented the Google File Sys-tem, a scalable distributed file system for large distributed data-intensive applications. It provides fault tolerance while running on inexpensive commodity hardware, and it delivers high aggregate performance to a large number of clients. While ..."

Sprite: A Simple, Cheat-Proof, Credit-Based System for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

by Sheng Zhong, Jiang Chen, Richard Yang - in Proceedings of IEEE INFOCOM , 2002
"... Mobile ad hoc networking has been an active research area for several years. How to stimulate cooperation among selfish mobile nodes, however, is not well addressed yet. In this paper, we propose Sprite, a simple, cheat-proof, creditbased system for stimulating cooperation among selfish nodes in mob ..."

Disconnected Operation in the Coda File System

by James J. Kistler, M. Satyanarayanan - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1992
"... Disconnected operation is a mode of operation that enables a client to continue accessing critical data during temporary failures of a shared data repository. An important, though not exclusive, application of disconnected operation is in supporting portable computers. In this paper, we show that di ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1014 (36 self) - Add to MetaCart
that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in the Coda File System. The central idea behind our work is that caching of data, now widely used for performance, can also be exploited to improve availability.

Scale and performance in a distributed file system

by John H. Howard, Michael L. Kazar, Sherri G. Menees, A. Nichols, M. Satyanarayanan, Robert N. Sidebotham, Michael J. West - ACM Transactions on Computer Systems , 1988
"... The Andrew File System is a location-transparent distributed tile system that will eventually span more than 5000 workstations at Carnegie Mellon University. Large scale affects performance and complicates system operation. In this paper we present observations of a prototype implementation, motivat ..."

Cost-Aware WWW Proxy Caching Algorithms

by Pei Cao, Sandy Irani - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1997 USENIX SYMPOSIUM ON INTERNET TECHNOLOGY AND SYSTEMS , 1997
"... Web caches can not only reduce network traffic and downloading latency, but can also affect the distribution of web traffic over the network through costaware caching. This paper introduces GreedyDualSize, which incorporates locality with cost and size concerns in a simple and non-parameterized fash ..."
