This paper presents sizing, energy management strategy, and cost analysis for a configuration consisting of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, fuel cell (FC) storage system, and reverse osmosis (RO) desalination technology for combined power and fresh water production. In this system, PV is the main power supply source; fuel cell is a storage system accompanied by Hydrogen production and storage d...

This document describes the design and implementation of the ADAMS Storage Management System. The system consists of a server that manages connections with multiple clients and passes storage requests to I/O-dedicated processes. The communication channels between clients and the server are implemented through sockets, the basic interprocess communication facility in BSD UNIX†. The interface pro...

We have been interested in this article on the data stuctures generation as part of the polyedric technique designed in PAF (Paralléliseur Automatique pour Fortran). The removal of dependences which are not data flows in a program is generally realized by a total memory expansion of data structures. We present a new technique which allows to reduce the memory cost by expanding carefully selecte...

The problem of maintaining data that arrives continuously over time is increasingly prevalent in databases and digital libraries. Building on a model for sliding-window indices developed in [24], we devise efcient algorithms for some of the central problems that arise. We also show connections between the problems in this model and some fundamental problems in optimization and graph theory.

Storage Management continues to play a key role in providing a complete solution to todays most challenging computational problems. This paper describes the current market trends and customer requirements driving Cray’s continued commitment to providing an integrated storage management solution. Product directions for the areas of network backup, archive and hierarchical storage management (HSM...

The IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, a client/server product providing backup, archive, and space management functions in heterogeneous distributed environments, performs extensive storage management after client data have reached the server. Beyond minimizing the amount of data that a client needs to send on successive backup operations, Tivoli Storage Manager optimizes data placement for disaster ...

The Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S) has been proposed for years to standardize the management of storage resources in Storage Area Network (SAN). In the SMI-S architecture, there are three main components: Service Agent (SA), Directory Agent (DA) and User Agent (UA). SA represents storage resource. DA collects storage service information from SAs and provides storage resourc...

The computing world is experiencing a transition from desktop PCs to connected information appliances, which — like the earlier transition from mainframes to PCs — will profoundly change the way information is used. The variety of devices capable of connecting to the Internet is astounding. Personal Data Assistants (PDAs), cellular phones, and even cars have Internet connectivity. Given the pro...

Cloud computing is an evolving domain that provides many on-demand services are used by businesses on daily basis. Massive growth in cloud storage results new data centers which hosted a large number of servers. As increases enormous amount energy consumption also increases. Now service providers looking for environmental friendly alternatives to reduce consumption. Data requires huge resources...
