Abstract

Summary form only given. ELFS (an ExtensibLe File System), (1) provides high bandwidth and low latency I/O to applications programs on high performance architectures, (2) reduces the cognitive burden faced by applications programmers when they attempt to optimize their I/O operations to fit existing file system models, and (3) seamlessly manages the proliferation of data formats and architectural differences. The ELFS solution consists of language and run-time system support that permits the specification of a hierarchy of file classes
