  HFS: a performance-oriented flexible file system based on building-block compositions
Krieger O., Stumm M. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 15(3): 286-321, 1997.  Type: Article

The title of this paper is an especially accurate one-line summary of the contents, omitting only that it is intended primarily for shared-memory multiprocessor systems. Based on the first author’s 1994 thesis with an almost ...

  The Zebra striped network file system
Hartman J., Ousterhout J. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 13(3): 274-310, 1995.  Type: Article

Sometimes computer science moves forward in leaps as new ideas change the discipline. Other times it moves ahead in smaller steps, as ideas that have worked in one area are applied to others. The Zebra striped network file system is th...

  A file system for continuous media
Anderson D., Osawa Y., Govindan R. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 10(4): 311-337, 1992.  Type: Article

The data rate needed for digital audio or compressed video is on the order of one megabit per second, well within available disk transfer rates of 10 megabits per second. Conventional filesystems do not sustain a 1 megabit per second d...

  Disk file allocation based on the buddy system
Koch P. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 5(4): 352-370, 1987.  Type: Article

This paper describes the results of a study conducted to evaluate the performance of the file allocation used in the Dartmouth time-sharing system (DTSS). DTSS is a general-purpose operating system that utilizes a variant of the binary...

  File structures: a conceptual toolkit
Folk M., Zoellick B., Addison-Wesley Longman Publishing Co., Inc., Boston, MA, 1987.  Type: Book (9789780201120035)

The study of files is too often a mixture of hardware characteristics, data structures, and ad hoc solutions found in various operating systems. This book, however, presents a clear view of how to structure data on storage devices. T...

  Database performance evaluation in an indexed file environment
Fedorowicz J. ACM Transactions on Database Systems 12(1): 85-110, 1987.  Type: Article

This paper develops and validates two analytical prediction models: one for access time and another for response time in an indexed file context. While the validity of the models proves to be excellent, their generalizability is not as...

  A fast file system for UNIX
McKusick M., Joy W., Leffler S., Fabry R. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 2(3): 181-197, 1984.  Type: Article

The original design of the UNIX file system proved to be too slow for many applications when used on the VAX. An earlier Berkeley implementation made some improvements but was still inefficient, using only about 4 percent of the potent...
