Early experiences in application level I/O tracing on blue gene systems
TL;DR: This is the first comprehensive application-level I/O monitoring, playback, and optimizing tool available on BG systems, and the preliminary experiments on popular NPB BTIO benchmark show that the tool is much useful on facilitating detailed I/o performance analysis.

Virtual chunks: On supporting random accesses to scientific data in compressible storage systems
TL;DR: This paper introduces a concept called virtual chunks aiming to support efficient random accesses to the compressed scientific data without sacrificing its compression ratio, and implemented virtual chunks in two forms: a middleware to the GPFS parallel file system, and a module in the FusionFS distributed file system.

vPFS: Bandwidth virtualization of parallel storage systems
TL;DR: In this article, a bandwidth virtualization layer for parallel file systems is proposed, which employs user-level parallel file system proxies to interpose requests between native clients and servers and to schedule parallel I/Os from different applications based on configurable bandwidth management policies.

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.
