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

A Transparent Server-Managed Object Storage System for HPC
TL;DR: A novel object-based data abstraction that takes advantage of deep memory hierarchies by providing a simplified programming interface that enables autonomous, asynchronous, and transparent data movement with a server-driven architecture is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cooperative caching versus proactive replication for location dependent request patterns
TL;DR: A systematic analysis of the caching framework is presented and the cooperative RTD caching solution shows that when request patterns are more localized, the increase in lookup performance through cooperation is significantly better than Beehive.

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.
