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

Pattern-Direct and Layout-Aware Replication Scheme for Parallel I/O Systems
TL;DR: Experimental results show that PDLA is effective in improving data access performance of parallel I/O systems and a runtime system is designed and developed to integrate the PDLA replication scheme and existing parallel I/.

Clockwork: A new movement in autonomic systems
TL;DR: A new way of thinking about autonomic tuning, that is, predictive autonomicity, based on feedforward control is identified, and a general method, called Clockwork, for constructing predictive autonomic systems is 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.
