ELFS: object-oriented extensible file systems

Abstract
High performance scientific data analysis is plagued by chronically inadequate I/O performance.The situation is aggravated by ever improving processor performance. For high performancemulticomputers, such as the Touchstone Delta that possess in excess of 500, 60 megaflops,processor I/O will be the bottleneck for many scientific applications.This report describes ELFS (an ExtensibLe File System). ELFS attacks the problems of 1)providing high bandwidth and low latency I/O to applications...
