Optimal file allocation in a loop topology local area network

Dynamic Adaptive File Management in a Local Area Network

In light of advances in processor and networking technology, especially the emergenceof network attached disks, the traditional clientserver architecture of file systems has become suboptimal for many computation/data intensive applications. In this paper, we introduce a revised architecture for file management employing network attached storage: the dynamic file server environment (Dynamo). Dy...

Optimal File Allocation in a Distributed Computer Network by Orthogonal Array Experiments

AbstreaThe problem of allocating files in a distributed network of interconnected computers, which was first addressed by Chu [l], is one of minimizing the overall operating cost while satisfying the finite computer storage capacity constraint and the bounds on the time to access the files. The overall operating oost consists of the cost of storing the files in the computers and the cost of tra...

Optimal File Allocation in a Multiple Computer System

A model is developed for allocating information files required in common by several computers. The model considers storage cost, transmission cost, file lengths, and request rates, as well as updating rates of files, the maximum allowable expected access times to files at each computer, and the storage capacity of each computer. The criterion of optimality is minimal overall operating costs (st...

Optimal network flow allocation

The main goal of this project is to investigate the network flow allocation (routing) problem, and devise a practical algorithm for its solution. Particularly, we plan to investigate the trade-off between the algorithm’s optimality and its implementability; therefore, obtaining an 2-suboptimal solution would be sufficient, if this will speed-up convergence or simplify the overall algorithm.
