NFS-cc: tuning NFS for concurrent read sharing

A common file access pattern found in cluster applications is concurrent read sharing: applications running on multiple sites read access the same data set concurrently. Traditional network file systems are limited by the server's network bandwidth; ...
NFS-CD: Write-Enabled Cooperative Caching in NFS

We present NFS-CD, an enhancement to the NFSv4 file system that reduces server load and increases the scalability of distributed file systems in computing clusters. The cluster delegation feature of NFS-CD allows data sharing among clients by extending ...
Spritely NFS: experiments with cache-consistency protocols
SOSP '89: Proceedings of the twelfth ACM symposium on Operating systems principles

File caching is essential to good performance in a distributed system, especially as processor speeds and memory sizes continue to improve rapidly while disk latencies do not. Stateless-server systems, such as NFS, cannot properly manage client file ...
