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

The case for a versatile storage system
TL;DR: This work proposes versatile storage, an application-optimized and highly configurable storage system that harnesses node-local resources, is configured and deployed at application deployment time, and has a lifetime dependent on the application lifetime.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A cost-intelligent application-specific data layout scheme for parallel file systems
TL;DR: A cost-intelligent data access strategy to improve the performance of parallel file systems and a hybrid data replication strategy for those applications so that a file can have replications with different layout policies for the best performance.

Extracting flexible, replayable models from large block traces
TL;DR: A system that extracts many desired properties from a large block I/O trace, builds a statistical model of the trace's salient characteristics, converts the model into a concise description in the language of one or more synthetic load generators, and can accurately replay the models in these load generators.

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.
