Renaud Lachaize and I have modified the well-known Postmark v1.5 filesystem benchmark to run on a cluster using MPI, in order to measure cluster/parallel filesystem performance. Currently it has been successfully used to measure PVFS2, GFS and Lustre.

For experimental results with parallel postmark please check out my publications or the [...]

The Foxy Web Cache is a high-performance web proxy prototype that we used to measure our storage I/O algorithms for web proxies.For the details of storage I/O algorithms and experimental results please check out my publications.

Foxy has been implemented and tested on Sun Solaris (2.7-2.8) but should run unmodified on other [...]

The Network RamDisk is a device that uses main memory of remote workstations in a workstation cluster (interconnected by a high performance network) as a faster-than-disk storage device.

It has been implemented both on the Linux 2.0.x and the Digital Unix 4.0 operating systems, as a block device driver without any modifications to [...]
