FreeLoader: Scavenging Desktop Storage Resources for Scientific Data

Overview High-end computing is suffering a data deluge from experiments, simulations, and apparatus that creates overwhelming application dataset sizes. End-user workstations - despite more processing power than ever before - are ill-equipped to cope with such data demands due to insufficient secondary storage space and I/O rates. Meanwhile, a large portion of desktop storage is unused. This paper presents the FreeLoader framework, which aggregates unused desktop storage space and I/O bandwidth into a shared cache/scratch space, for hosting large, immutable datasets and exploiting data access locality.

Convergence: IPv6 migration - a necessary pain?

There’s been mention of reallocating many unused large blocks but it has largely come to nothing. Every device on the network - including firewalls, servers, workstations, laptops and IP phones - will need to be upgraded to support IPv6.

Computer prices will crash: McNealy

Sun believes it has the answer to the problem: Customers should buy collections of hardware and software already assembled and suited to the task at hand, and they should run multiple tasks on those systems to ensure computing capacity isn't going...

How Formula One takes tech to the extremes

The intensive development work and data telemetry and analysis needed to stay at the sharp end of the grid during the season creates unique demands and relies on having the best IT infrastructure possible.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
