I/O-Efficient Scaling Schemes for Distributed Storage Systems with CRS Codes

System scaling becomes essential and indispensable for distributed storage systems due to the explosive growth of data volume. Considering that fault-protection is a necessity in large-scale distributed storage systems, and Cauchy Reed-Solomon (CRS) …

A Spatial Mashup Service for Efficient Evaluation of Concurrent $k$ -NN Queries

Although the travel time is the most important information in road networks, many spatial queries, e.g., $k$ -nearest-neighbor ( $k$ -NN) and range queries, for location-based services (LBS) are only based on the network distance. This is because it …

Boosting Degraded Reads in Heterogeneous Erasure-Coded Storage Systems

Distributed storage systems provide large-scale data storage services, yet they are confronted with frequent node failures. To ensure data availability, a storage system often introduces data redundancy via replication or erasure coding. As erasure …

Even data placement for load balance in reliable distributed deduplication storage systems

Modern distributed storage systems often deploy deduplication to remove content-level redundancy and hence improve storage efficiency. However, deduplication inevitably leads to unbalanced data placement across storage nodes, thereby degrading read …
