Previous Work
While working on the Data
Intensive Distributed Computing Research Project, I
implemented parts of the
Distributed-Parallel
Storage System (DPSS), including development APIs as well
as clients that illustrate how to develop applications using
the APIs and, in the case of tv_sim, that can be used to do
performance testing of networks in concert with the DPSS.
Here is a summary of my DPSS-related work.
DPSS MBone
Recorder/Player (DMRP)
An application that uses the DPSS to store and to replay
MBone data. The DMRP can support multiple RTPv2 sessions
with multiple senders on both recording and playback and
fully implements RTP/RTCP as defined in
RFC 1889.
Master's thesis.
dpssio
A client application built on the ISSFS API to do simple
Unix filesystem-like reading and writing of data. Also
exploits the ISSFS's sequential-record capabilities to
store and to retrieve record-bounded data, e.g., JPEG
movies.
-
An application simulator for
Terravision
to test the performance of the
Distributed-Parallel
Storage System, a scalable, distributed parallel data
server being used with the
ARPA
Multidimensional Applications and Gigabit Internetwork
Consortium
(MAGIC) gigabit network
testbed project. Access to tv_sim's documentation is
restricted.
-
An API for developers wishing to build DPSS client
applications.
-
A simpler (if somewhat less flexible) API for the DPSS,
modeled loosely on the UNIX I/O interface.
DPSS loader
Software to stage data from mass storage onto DPSS disks.
Miscellaneous
Other software modules as necessary, including various
support tools.
