High performance NFS: facts and fictions
SC '06: Proceedings of the 2006 ACM/IEEE conference on Supercomputing

Lately you may have begun hearing about High Performance NFS offerings and standards. But we all "know" NFS is not scalable. So what does High Performance NFS mean? FPGA implementation of parts of the file system? Really big caches? RDMA embedded in the ...

NFS-cc: tuning NFS for concurrent read sharing

A common file access pattern found in cluster applications is concurrent read sharing: applications running on multiple sites read access the same data set concurrently. Traditional network file systems are limited by the server's network bandwidth; ...
