Mirroring Alice

Stripped mirroring RAID architecture

Redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) provide an ecient stable storage system for parallel access and fault tolerance. The most common fault tolerant RAID architecture is RAID-1 or RAID-5. The disadvantage of RAID-1 lies in excessive redundancy, while the write performance of RAID-5 is only 1/4 of that of RAID-0. In this paper, we propose a high performance and highly reliable disk arra...

Mirroring, Mindreading, and Simulation

What is the connection between mirror processes and mindreading? The paper begins with definitions of mindreading and of mirroring processes. It then advances four theses: (T1) mirroring processes in themselves do not constitute mindreading; (T2) some types of mindreading (“low-level” mindreading) are based on mirroring processes; (T3) not all types of mindreading are based on mirroring (“high-...

Mirroring the ADS Bibliographic Databases

During the past year the Astrophysics Data System has set up two mirror sites for the benefit of users around the world with a slow network connection to the main ADS server in Cambridge, MA. In order to clone the ADS abstract and article services on the mirror sites, the structure of the bibliographic databases, query forms and search scripts has been made both siteand platform-independent by ...
