TLDR
GPFS is IBM's parallel, shared-disk file system for cluster computers, available on the RS/6000 SP parallel supercomputer and on Linux clusters, and discusses how distributed locking and recovery techniques were extended to scale to large clusters.Citations

Using filesystem virtualization to avoid metadata bottlenecks
Ernest Artiaga,Toni Cortes +1 more
TL;DR: This paper developed COFS (COmposite File System) as a proof-of-concept virtual layer above the native file system that, transparently to the user, reorganizes the underlying directory tree, mitigating bottlenecks by taking advantage of thenative file system optimizations and limiting the effects of potentially harmful application behavior.

I/O characterization on a parallel file system
Sumit Narayan,John A. Chandy +1 more
TL;DR: Findings are that the standard assumption of Poisson or random interarrival times is not justified, that access sizes are smaller than would be expected for a parallel application and that I/O request size and burstiness demanded from a parallel file system.

Bottleneck Detection in Parallel File Systems with Trace-Based Performance Monitoring
Julian M. Kunkel,Thomas Ludwig +1 more
TL;DR: The performance monitor available in the parallel file system PVFS2 was extended by including statistics of the server process and information of the system to help to identify bottlenecks and may assists to rank the servers depending on their capabilities.
RobuSTore: Robust Performance for Distributed Storage Systems
Huaxia Xia,Andrew A. Chien +1 more
TL;DR: The design and an evaluation of RobuSTore are presented, which shows improved robustness, reducing the standard deviation of access latencies by as much as 5-fold vs. traditional RAID and improving access bandwidth by asmuch as 15-fold.

Extendible hashing—a fast access method for dynamic files
TL;DR: This work studies, by analysis and simulation, the performance of extendible hashing and indicates that it provides an attractive alternative to other access methods, such as balanced trees.

Frangipani: a scalable distributed file system
TL;DR: Initial measurements indicate that Frangipani has excellent single-server performance and scales well as servers are added, and can be exported to untrusted machines using ordinary network file access protocols.

Scalability in the XFS file system
TL;DR: The architecture and design of a new file system, XFS, for Silicon Graphics' IRIX operating system is described, and the use of B+ trees in place of many of the more traditional linear file system structures are discussed.
