State-of-the-art research, development, and deployment efforts in wide-area distributed file systems on clustered, grid, and cloud infrastructures.
Course Description: As the data requirements of commercial as well as scientific applications continue to increase, the ability to share large amounts of data across widely distributed sites (i.e. data centers, clouds, clusters, supercomputers) become more and more important. This seminar will be discussing state-of-the-art research, development, and deployment efforts in wide-area distributed file systems on clustered, grid, and cloud infrastructures. We will be reading and discussing two papers every week in one of the following areas: · File System Design Decisions · Performance, Scalability, and Consistency issues in File Systems · Traditional Distributed File Systems · Parallel Cluster File Systems · Wide Area Distributed File Systems · Cloud File Systems · Commercial vs Open Source File System Solutions The seminar will include a "term project" on the implementation of the core wide-are distributed file system components, which will be implemented and presented in teams. Course Location and Time: The seminars will be held Wednesdays 10:00am-12:00pm @ 113A Davis Hall. First day of classes will be on Wednesday Monday, January 16, 2013.
