Exploiting the non-determinism and asynchrony of set iterators to reduce aggregate file I/O latency
1997
ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review
A key goal of distributed systems is to provide prompt access to shared information repositories. The high latency of remote access is a serious impediment to this goal. This paper describes a new file system abstraction called dynamic sets -unordered collections created by an application to hold the files it intends to process. Applications that iterate on the set to access its members allow the system to reduce the aggregate I/O latency by exploiting the non-determinism and asychrony inherent
