摘要： A multimedia datastreaming system includes one of a plurality of differing pre-existing file systems each supporting a set of zero copy function interfaces. A method is provided for supporting the zero copy function of a datastream file with the pre-existing file system. A general purpose file system interface is established to the pre-existing file systems. The general purpose file system interface is then invoked to affect zero copy transfer of the datastream from a producer module to a consumer module. An initial prefetch of data associated with the datastream file is initiated in response to an I/O command issued from a multimedia file system daemon, such prefetch being from mass storage to a buffer in shared memory in an interrupt context.

摘要： A computer system having a shared disk file system running on multiple computers each having their own instance of an operating system and being coupled for parallel data sharing access to files residing on network attached shared disks. Methods are provided for use as a parallel file system in a shared disk environment by use of a scalable directory service for the system with a stable cursor, and a segmented allocation map. Dynamic prefetch and cached balance pools for multiple accesses improve the system. Extended file attributes are used for implementation of Access Control Lists in a parallel file system. Improvements to caching and cache performance developments balance pools for multiple accesses. A metadata node manages file metadata for parallel read and write actions. For managing data for the same file distributed across multiple disk devices, a buffer manager is provided for a file system buffer pool which arbitrates use of memory resources among different system components competing for memory with buffer information for a component that said buffer manager needs for deciding how much memory to allocate among components of the system. The buffer information includes a desired memory size and current activity level. The buffer manager provides to a system component data as to how much memory has been assigned for use by that component of the system, and it schedules account resources to maximize file system throughput.
摘要翻译：一种计算机系统，具有在多个计算机上运行的共享磁盘文件系统，每个计算机具有其自己的操作系统实例，并被耦合用于对驻留在网络附加共享磁盘上的文件进行并行数据共享访问。通过使用具有稳定光标的系统的可伸缩目录服务和分段分配映射，提供了用于共享磁盘环境中并行文件系统的方法。用于多个访问的动态预取和缓存平衡池可改善系统。扩展文件属性用于在并行文件系统中实现访问控制列表。缓存和缓存性能开发的改进平衡了多个访问的池。元数据节点管理用于并行读写操作的文件元数据。为了管理分布在多个磁盘设备上的相同文件的数据，为文件系统缓冲池提供缓冲管理器，该文件系统缓冲池在不同的系统组件之间仲裁存储器资源的使用，这些组件与缓冲器管理器需要决定的组件的缓冲区信息进行比较在系统的组件之间分配多少内存。缓冲器信息包括期望的存储器大小和当前活动级别。缓冲区管理器向系统组件提供有关分配给系统的该组件使用的内存多少的数据，并且调度帐户资源以最大化文件系统吞吐量。

摘要： A media streamer (10) includes at least one storage node (16, 17) comprising mass storage for storing a digital representation of at least one video presentation; and a plurality of communication nodes (14) each having at least one input port that is coupled to an output of the at least one storage node for receiving a digital representation of a video presentation therefrom. Each of the plurality of communication nodes further includes a plurality of output ports, individual ones of the plurality of output ports being operable for transmitting a digital representation as a data stream to a consumer of the digital representation. Individual ones of the output ports also have an associated data buffer for buffering a portion of a digital representation prior to a transmission of the digital representation. Each of the plurality of communication nodes further includes a scheduler for scheduling, for individual ones of the data buffers, a read request to the at least one storage node for a next sequential portion of the digital representation for storage within individual ones of the data buffers. Each read request for a particular individual one of the data buffers is scheduled at a predetermined time such that a requested next sequential portion of the digital representation is available to a requesting communications node prior to a time that the requested next sequential portion is required to be transmitted from the output port that is associated with the data buffer for which the read request was scheduled. The at least one storage node further includes a scheduler for scheduling a read request to the mass storage such that a next sequential portion of a digital representation is available for outputting, prior to the at least one storage node receiving a read request for the next sequential portion from one of the communication nodes.

摘要： This disclosure relates to parity declustered storage device arrays having partition groups. In an exemplary embodiment, the storage system includes a storage device array, such as disk array. Each storage device is divided into partitions. Each partition includes stripe units, such as hundreds or thousands of stripe units in exemplary embodiments. The storage system also includes a physical array controller coupled to the storage device array. In an exemplary embodiment, the array controller includes a partition group lookup table and stores and retrieves data and parity in the storage devices based on the partition group lookup table. In this exemplary embodiment, the array controller also includes a stripe lookup table and/or a log. In an exemplary embodiment, the partition group lookup table and the stripe lookup table take up less memory (e.g., by an order of magnitude) than a single-level stripe map conveying the same information.

摘要： A method for managing a shared resource that is allocated among nodes in a distributed computing system includes receiving periodic reports from the nodes regarding their respective allocations of the resource. Responsive to the periodic reports, an approximate amount of the resource that is free for further allocation is determined. Typically, the shared resource is a data storage resource, such as a plurality of disks linked to the nodes by a network, which disks are commonly accessible to multiple ones of the nodes.
