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

MLBS: Transparent Data Caching in Hierarchical Storage for Out-of-Core HPC Applications
Tariq Alturkestani,Thierry Tonellot,Hatem Ltaief,Rached Abdelkhalak,V. Etienne,David E. Keyes +5 more
TL;DR: MultiLayered Buffer Storage (MLBS), a data object container that provides novel methods for caching and prefetching data in out-of-core scientific applications to perform asynchronously expensive I/O operations on systems equipped with hierarchical storage, is introduced.

Scalable Huge Directories through OSD+ Devices
TL;DR: This paper uses directory objects in OSD+ devices for dynamically distributing a huge directory among several servers for good performance and scalability and shows that, by using just 8OSD+s and Ext4, FPFS is able to create, stat and delete more than 70,000 files per second.
Patent
File system for storage area network
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a meta data management process that is configured to provide at least one client process with information to allow the client process to perform one or more operations in accordance with data block descriptors through a storage area network.
Efficient Task-Local I/O Operations of Massively Parallel Applications
TL;DR: This work describes two novel approaches for the integration of locality awareness into the serial I/O operations of parallel applications, implemented in SIONlib and Spindle, which demonstrates how scalability of operating system components can be improved without modifying them and without changing theI/O patterns of applications.
Dissertation
dataClay : next generation object storage
TL;DR: Three novel techniques that enable a data store to support a multi-provider ecosystem, facilitating the collaboration within all the players, and the development of efficient data-intensive applications are proposed.

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.
