File Archive Activity In A Supercomputer Environment

File Archive Activity in a Supercomputer Environment

Analysis of file system trace data shows that one third of all files archived are referenced again within one day and twenty five percent of the transactions to tape are requests to delete files. In many cases, individual research groups easily account for twenty percent of the total traffic to such an archival system. Finally, some of the file access characteristics are typical of standard time sharing systems; however distinct differences exist."

High Performance Computing Systems and Applications

High Performance Computing Systems and Applications contains the fully refereed papers from the 13th Annual Symposium on High Performance Computing, held in Kingston, Canada, in June 1999. This book presents the latest research in HPC architectures, distributed and shared memory performance, algorithms and solvers, with special sessions on atmospheric science, computational chemistry and physics. High Performance Computing Systems and Applications is suitable as a secondary text for graduate level courses, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.
