In this paper, we introduce the client side cache of distributed file system for enhancing read performance by eliminating the network latency and decreasing the back-end storage burden. This performance enhancement can expand the fields of distributed file system to not only cloud storage service but also high performance storage service. This paper shows that the distributed file system with client side SSD cache can satisfy the requirements of VDI(Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) storage. The experimental results show that full-clone is more than 2 times faster and boot time is more than 3 times faster than NFS.

This paper presents the design and implementation of a cache file system, umcFS, which is specifically designed to provide an efficient caching and transmission of streaming media. The proposed file system is based on the concept of file disk and implemented as an application level on top of a general-purpose file system. The file disk favors the continuity of cached media and provides an efficient I/O mechanism for cache server. umcFS statically allocates control blocks as well as media cache blocks. These blocks are referenced by the single-level indirect management structure. As the file system is designed as an application level, it is easy to develop and port to other systems. The performance of the implemented system shows that umcFS performs about 13% better than the native file system in randomly accessing the cache blocks of 1024KB.

In this paper we design and implement a method for application programs to allow handling of large data files in DOS environment. In this method we use extended memory and hard disk as a data buffer. And we use a part of the conventional DOS memory as a buffer cache which allows the application program to use extended memory and hard disks transparently. Using buffer cache also allows us some speed improvement for the application program.

This paper proposes a new access method which is to considered the high variability in World Wide Web and manage the web cache space. Instead of using a single cache, we divide a cache and store all documents according to their file types. Proposed method was compares with current cache management policies using LFU, LRU and SIZE base algorithm. Using two different workload, we show the improvement hitting ratio and byte hitting ratio through simulating on the file type caching.

The data grid computing provides geographically distributed storage resources to solve computational problems with large-scale data. Unlike cache replacement policies in virtual memory or web-caching replacement, an optimal file replacement policy for data grids is the one of the important problems by the fact that file size is very large. The traditional file replacement policies such as LRU(Least Recently Used) LCB-K(Least Cost Beneficial based on K), EBR(Economic-based cache replacement), LVCT(Least Value-based on Caching Time) have the problem that they have to predict requests or need additional resources to file replacement. To solve theses problems, this paper propose SBR-k(Sized-based replacement-k) that replaces files based on file size. The results of the simulation show that the proposed policy performs better than traditional policies.

In this paper, we propose the distributed cache management scheme to efficiently access small files in Hadoop Distributed File Systems(HDFS). The proposed scheme can reduce the number of metadata managed by a name node since many small files are merged and stored in a chunk. It is also possible to reduce the file access costs, by keeping the information of requested files using the client cache and data node caches. The client cache keeps small files that a user requests and metadata. Each data node cache keeps the small files that are frequently requested by users. It is shown through performance evaluation that the proposed scheme significantly reduces the processing time over the existing scheme.

Wireless content caching in small cell networks has recently been considered as a promising way to alleviate the congestion of the backhaul in emerging heterogenous cellular network. However, how to select files which are cached in SBSs and how to make SBSs work together is an important issue for cooperative cache research for the propose of reducing file download time. In this paper, a Cooperative-Greedy strategy (CGS) among cache-enabled small base stations (SBSs) in small cell network is proposed, in order to minimize the download time of files. This problem is formulated as a Chinese restaurant game.Using this game model, we can configure file caching schemes based on file popularity and the spectrum resources allocated to several adjacent SBSs. Both the existence and uniquencess of a Nash equilibrium are proved. In the theoretical analysis section, SBSs cooperate with each other in order to cache popular files as many as possible near UEs. Simulation results show that the CGS scheme outperforms other schemes in terms of the file-download time.

Due to the growth of embedded systems and the development of semi-conductor and storage devices, digital convergence devises is ever growing. Digital convergence devices are equipments into which various functions such as communication, playing movies and wave files and electronic dictionarys are integrated. Example are portable multimedia players(PMPs), personal digital assistants(PDAs), and smart phones. Therefore, these devices need an efficient file system which manages and controls various types of files. In designing such file systems, the size constraint for small embedded systems as well as performance and compatibility should be taken into account. In this paper, we suggest the partial buffer cache technique. Contrary to the traditional buffer cache, the partial buffer cache is used for only the FAT meta data and write-only data. Simulation results show that we could enhance the write performance more than 30% when the file size is larger than about 100 KBytes.

Today, in exponential growth of internet, the importance of file caching which could reduce the sun load, the volume of network traffic, and the latency of response has emerged. Actually, in one network, the traffic has reduced by using the cache and this means that file caching can improve the internet environment by cost a fraction of link upgrades. In this paper, we address a dynamic cache group configuration policy, to solve the scalable problem. The simulation result shows that the cache group using our proposal policy reduces the latency of response time and it means that out cache group configuration is more scalable than the static cache configuration.

RAID 5 is a widely-used technique used to construct disk systems of high reliability and performance. This paper proposes APGOC (Adaptive Parity Group On Cache) organization on cache to solve "small write" problem of RAID 5 especially in OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing System) environments. In our approach, when user process makes a request for a file to kernel, the information on the read/write characteristics is added to the file data structure of the file system. With this information, data and parity cache can be managed interchangeably through parity fetching. Therefore we can enhance the cache utilization and improve the disk request response time. Our method is analyzed and evaluated with a simulation method. Comparing with previous works, we observed about 6~l3% of performance enhancement.hancement.
