2006 15th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Distributed Computing Cooperative Caching in the pCFS parallel Cluster File System Paris June 19-June 23 ISBN: 1-4244-0307-3
This short paper describes the cooperative caching architecture of pCFS, a shared disk cluster file system (CFS) which aims to achieve high performance in a broad spectrum of I/O intensive applications ranging from computational access to large data sets to video streaming and databases, and includes an extended API for parallel I/O access. pCFS is targeted at small to medium sized clusters where data is stored in fibre channel shared devices on a storage area network (SAN) and exploits two interconnect fabrics: a SAN to access on-disk data, and a LAN, used both for the exchange of control information (related to locking and cache management) and for cooperative caching dataflow
