Download or read book Design of a High Performance and High Availability Distributed Storage System written by Li Ou and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cluster has become one of the most popular platforms for high-performance computing. As in traditional parallel computing systems, the I/O sub-system is a bottleneck to the overall system performance. One solution to alleviate the I/O bottleneck is to deploy a distributed storage system, which utilizes the aggregate bandwidth and capability of existing I/O resources on each cluster node, to provide high performance and scalable storage service for cluster computing platforms. The research of this dissertation concentrated on designing a high performance and high availability distributed storage system to improve I/O system performance. The system provided high performance by efficiently managing the aggregate cache space of a multi-level hierarchy, organizing file system data servers and iSCSI storage targets into a two level hierarchy with striping/parity techniques, and exploiting the potential of high speed network to reduce the RDMA registration cost. The system achieved high availability by overcoming single point of failure of metadata servers with a symmetric active/active metadata service. With a combination of various research approaches, including analysis using mathematical models, simulation using real world traces, prototype implementations of real systems running on Linux platforms, and experiments using real workloads, both high performance and high availability of a distributed storage system were achieved. The experimental results indicated that the average I/O response time was improved by up to 46% to 53% for various workloads, and the availability was increased to 99.98%; with less than 10% performance trade-off.

Download or read book The DFS Distributed File System written by Ananth K. Rao and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This thesis describes the design of an operating system independent distributed file system (DFS) and details the implementation, on a cooperating set of server computers interconnected by means of a communications network. The DFS provides the mechanism by which the file systems of these physically dispersed units are integrated into a single logical unit. Users and application programs thus have the illusion that their files are on a single computer system, even though in reality they may be physically distributed around the network. This location transparency frees users from having to remember details such as the current location of the file and also affords considerable mobility, allowing access to files from any workstation. In addition, automatic storage replication and an atomic transaction mechanism provides high reliability and improved availability in the distributed environment in the face of site failure."--Abstract.

Download or read book A Modular and Extensible Network Storage Architecture written by Sai Lai Lo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-17 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was originally published in 1995. At the time of publication, distributed file systems were monolithic and only supported single file abstractions. Network storage devices needed to be able to accommodate emerging information media such as digital audio and video, with data radically different in characteristics to traditional text and binary that file systems were optimised for. By combining emerging and traditional media, information could be recorded and presented in the most suitable way, and the value of a piece of information could be further enhanced by linking together related pieces. However composite data and cross-reference between data items raised a number of system issues that had not been addressed properly before. In this book Dr Lo defined a multi-service storage architecture that could meet the needs of existing and emerging applications and support multiple file abstractions. He also explored a number of related design issues.

Book excerpt: Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being, one of the latest dreams is now possible - distributed computing. Distributed computing brings transparent access to as much computer power and data as the user needs for accomplishing any given task - simultaneously achieving high performance and reliability. The subject of distributed computing is diverse, and many researchers are investigating various issues concerning the structure of hardware and the design of distributed software. Distributed System Design defines a distributed system as one that looks to its users like an ordinary system, but runs on a set of autonomous processing elements (PEs) where each PE has a separate physical memory space and the message transmission delay is not negligible. With close cooperation among these PEs, the system supports an arbitrary number of processes and dynamic extensions. Distributed System Design outlines the main motivations for building a distributed system, including: inherently distributed applications performance/cost resource sharing flexibility and extendibility availability and fault tolerance scalability Presenting basic concepts, problems, and possible solutions, this reference serves graduate students in distributed system design as well as computer professionals analyzing and designing distributed/open/parallel systems. Chapters discuss: the scope of distributed computing systems general distributed programming languages and a CSP-like distributed control description language (DCDL) expressing parallelism, interprocess communication and synchronization, and fault-tolerant design two approaches describing a distributed system: the time-space view and the interleaving view mutual exclusion and related issues, including election, bidding, and self-stabilization prevention and detection of deadlock reliability, safety, and security as well as various methods of handling node, communication, Byzantine, and software faults efficient interprocessor communication mechanisms as well as these mechanisms without specific constraints, such as adaptiveness, deadlock-freedom, and fault-tolerance virtual channels and virtual networks load distribution problems synchronization of access to shared data while supporting a high degree of concurrency

Download or read book A Proposed Rack Aware Model for High Availability of Hadoop Distributed File System HDFS Architecture written by Moses Timothy and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data-driven models like Hadoop have gained tremendous popularity in big data analytics. Though great efforts have been made through the implementation of the Hadoop framework by decoupling of resource management infrastructure, the centralized design of metadata management of HDFS has adversely affected Hadoop scalability and has resulted in a performance bottleneck. A single master node called NameNode which manages the entire namespace (all the inodes) of a file system has resulted in a single point of failure, namespace limitation, and load balancing issues in the Hadoop cluster. This paper proposed a rack-aware model where each rack is provided with a Rack_Unit NameNode (RU_NN) to manage namespace of file system and heartbeat communication of DataNodes in its rack. This will reduce load on a single NameNode and will also provide less communication overhead from all DataNodes in the cluster to a single NameNode.
