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

Mounted filesystem integrity checking and salvage
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and system for conducting an integrity check of system and user metadata when the metadata is mounted is presented, where a filesystem reviewer is embedded within software of a server node and a mutual exclusion lock is obtained on the selected metadata.

An Efficient Data Location Protocol for Self.organizing Storage Clusters
Hong Tang,Tao Yang +1 more
TL;DR: This work investigates and compares data location schemes for a large self-organizing storage cluster that can quickly adapt to the additions or departures of storage nodes, and presents an efficient location scheme that differentiates between small and large file blocks for reduced management overhead compared to uniform strategies.

Integrating collective I/O and cooperative caching into the "clusterfile" parallel file system
TL;DR: It is shown that global cooperative cache management improves the collective I/O performance and the performance results show considerable throughput increases over ROMIO's extended two-phase I-O.

S4D-Cache: Smart Selective SSD Cache for Parallel I/O Systems
Shuibing He,Xian-He Sun,Bo Feng +2 more
TL;DR: A novel scheme is introduced to identify performance-critical data, and conduct selective cache admission to fully utilize the hybrid architecture in terms of data-access parallelism and randomness, and shows that S4D-Cache can significantly improve I/O throughput, and is a promising approach for parallel applications.

Providing tunable consistency for a parallel file store
TL;DR: This work presents the design and implementation of a file-store, CAPFS (Content Addressable Parallel File System), that allows the user to define consistency semantic policies at runtime and provides extensive evaluations of the prototype file system on a concurrent read/write workload and a parallel tiled visualization code.

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.
