Title
The Gfarm File System on Compute Clouds
Abstract
Due to its ability to provide requested resources on demand, the use of cloud computing for data-intensive computing is expected to skyrocket in the coming years. The present IaaS cloud infrastructure is designed such that the compute cloud and the storage cloud are separate components. However, the design has one major problem, namely a trade-off has to be made between the network cost and storage performance. To cope with these problems, we are proposing high performance file system service in compute cloud that transparently utilizes file access locality on dynamic configuration of cloud computing infrastructure. We evaluated the system using micro benchmarks, MapReduce applications, and MPI-IO applications. Our system shows the scalable file I/O performance.
