Abstract: Modem massively parallel file systems provide high bandwidth file access by striping files
across arrays of disks attached to a few specialized I/O nodes. However, these file systems are
hard to use and difficult to integrate with workstations and tertiary storage. RAMA addresses these
problems by providing a high-performance massively parallel file system with a simple interface.
RAMA uses hashing to pseudo-randomly distribute data to all of its disks, insuring high
bandwidth regardless of... (Update)
