Copy on Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis and Implementation
Copy On Write Based File Systems Performance Analysis And Implementation Sakis Kasampalis Kongens Lyngby 2010 IMM-MSC-2010-63 Technical University of Denmark Department Of Informatics Building 321, DK-2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark Phone +45 45253351, Fax +45 45882673 [email protected] www.imm.dtu.dk Abstract In this work I am focusing on Copy On Write based file systems. Copy On Write is used on modern file systems for providing (1) metadata and data consistency using transactional semantics, (2) cheap and instant backups using snapshots and clones. This thesis is divided into two main parts. The first part focuses on the design and performance of Copy On Write based file systems. Recent efforts aiming at creating a Copy On Write based file system are ZFS, Btrfs, ext3cow, Hammer, and LLFS. My work focuses only on ZFS and Btrfs, since they support the most advanced features. The main goals of ZFS and Btrfs are to offer a scalable, fault tolerant, and easy to administrate file system. I evaluate the performance and scalability of ZFS and Btrfs. The evaluation includes studying their design and testing their performance and scalability against a set of recommended file system benchmarks. Most computers are already based on multi-core and multiple processor architec- tures. Because of that, the need for using concurrent programming models has increased. Transactions can be very helpful for supporting concurrent program- ming models, which ensure that system updates are consistent. Unfortunately, the majority of operating systems and file systems either do not support trans- actions at all, or they simply do not expose them to the users. -

Helge Meinhard / CERN V2.0 30 October 2015 HEPiX Fall 2015 at Brookhaven National Lab After 2004, the lab, located on Long Island in the State of New York, U.S.A., was host to a HEPiX workshop again. Ac- cess to the site was considerably easier for the registered participants than 11 years ago. The meeting took place in a very nice and comfortable seminar room well adapted to the size and style of meeting such as HEPiX. It was equipped with advanced (sometimes too advanced for the session chairs to master!) AV equipment and power sockets at each seat. Wireless networking worked flawlessly and with good bandwidth. The welcome reception on Monday at Wading River at the Long Island sound and the workshop dinner on Wednesday at the ocean coast in Patchogue showed more of the beauty of the rather natural region around the lab. For those interested, the hosts offered tours of the BNL RACF data centre as well as of the STAR and PHENIX experiments at RHIC. The meeting ran very smoothly thanks to an efficient and experienced team of local organisers headed by Tony Wong, who as North-American HEPiX co-chair also co-ordinated the workshop programme. Monday 12 October 2015 Welcome (Michael Ernst / BNL) On behalf of the lab, Michael welcomed the participants, expressing his gratitude to the audience to have accepted BNL's invitation. He emphasised the importance of computing for high-energy and nuclear physics. He then intro- duced the lab focusing on physics, chemistry, biology, material science etc. The total head count of BNL-paid people is close to 3'000. -

Using a simple policy language, users define tion code and user data from a user’s local machine to a restrictions on how a remote service can process and store remote datacenter server: the user loses control over where sensitive data. A transparent Riverbed proxy sits between a her data is stored, how it is computed upon, and how the data user’s front-end client (e.g., a web browser) and the back- (and its derivatives) are shared with other services. Users are end server code. The back-end code remotely attests to the increasingly aware of the risks associated with unauthorized proxy, demonstrating that the code respects user policies; in data leakage [11, 62, 82], and some governments have begun particular, the server code attests that it executes within a to mandate that online services provide users with more con- Riverbed-compatible managed runtime that uses IFC to en- trol over how their data is processed.

While Ph.D. students more focused on a rapid graduation turnaround time might find this regrettable, I am glad to have done so, in part because it has afforded me the opportunities to meet and work with so many excellent people along the way. I owe debts of gratitude to a large cast of characters: To my advisors, Andrea and Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau. It is one of the most common pieces of wisdom imparted on incoming grad students that one’s relationship with one’s advisor (or advisors) is perhaps the single most important factor in whether these years of your life will be pleasant or unpleasant, and I feel exceptionally fortunate to have ended up iv with the advisors that I’ve had. -

(Tech.) Aalto University School of Science ABSTRACT OF Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering MASTER’S THESIS Author: Paul Tötterman Title: Performance and Scalability of a Sensor Data Storage Framework Date: March 10, 2015 Pages: 67 Major: Software Technology Code: T-110 Supervisor: Associate Professor Keijo Heljanko Advisor: Lasse Rasinen M.Sc. (Tech.) Modern artificial intelligence and machine learning applications build on analysis and training using large datasets. New research and development does not always start with existing big datasets, but accumulate data over time. The same storage solution does not necessarily cover the scale during the lifetime of the research, especially if scaling up from using common workgroup storage technologies. The storage infrastructure at ZenRobotics has grown using standard workgroup technologies. The current approach is starting to show its limits, while the storage growth is predicted to continue and accelerate. Successful capacity planning and expansion requires a better understanding of the patterns of the use of storage and its growth. We have examined the current storage architecture and stored data from different perspectives in order to gain a better understanding of the situation. By performing a number of experiments we determine key properties of the employed technologies. The combination of these factors allows us to make informed decisions about future storage solutions. -

Ted Ts'o on Linux File Systems
Ted Ts’o on Linux File Systems An Interview RIK FARROW Rik Farrow is the Editor of ;login:. ran into Ted Ts’o during a tutorial luncheon at LISA ’12, and that later [email protected] sparked an email discussion. I started by asking Ted questions that had I puzzled me about the early history of ext2 having to do with the perfor- mance of ext2 compared to the BSD Fast File System (FFS). I had met Rob Kolstad, then president of BSDi, because of my interest in the AT&T lawsuit against the University of California and BSDi. BSDi was being sued for, among other things, Theodore Ts’o is the first having a phone number that could be spelled 800-ITS-UNIX. I thought that it was important North American Linux for the future of open source operating systems that AT&T lose that lawsuit. Kernel Developer, having That said, when I compared the performance of early versions of Linux to the current version started working with Linux of BSDi, I found that they were closely matched, with one glaring exception. Unpacking tar in September 1991. He also archives using Linux (likely .9) was blazingly fast compared to BSDi. I asked Rob, and he served as the tech lead for the MIT Kerberos explained that the issue had to do with synchronous writes, finally clearing up a mystery for me. V5 development team, and was the architect at IBM in charge of bringing real-time Linux Now I had a chance to ask Ted about the story from the Linux side, as well as other questions in support of real-time Java to the US Navy.
