'Jameela Al-Jaroodi'] We present a novel approach to solve the cloud storage issues and provide a fast load balancing algorithm. Our approach is based on partitioning and concurrent dual direction download of the files from multiple cloud nodes. Partitions of the files are saved on the cloud rather than the full files…

'Hao-Tsung Yang' 'Matei Ripeanu'] This paper proposes using file system custom metadata as a bidirectional communication channel between applications and the storage system. This channel can be used to pass hints that enable cross-layer optimizations, an option hindered today by the ossified file-system interface. We…

This paper mainly focuses on the problem of lossy compression storage based on the data value that represents the subjective assessment of users when the storage size is still not enough after the conventional lossless data compression. To this end, we transform this problem to an optimization, which pursues the least…

The current high profile debate with regard to data storage and its growth have become strategic task in the world of networking. It mainly depends on the sensor nodes called producers, base stations, and also the consumers (users and sensor nodes) to retrieve and use the data. The main concern dealt here is to find an…

'Salman Toor'] Abstract—Top-K queries are an established heuristic in information retrieval. This paper presents an approach for optimal tiered storage allocation under stream processing workloads using this heuristic: those requiring the analysis of only the top-K ranked most relevant, or most interesting, documents…

Modern key-value storage engines built on Log-Structured Merge-trees (LSM-trees), such as RocksDB and LevelDB, rely heavily on the performance of their compaction operations, which are impacted by a complex set of interdependent configuration parameters. Manually tuning these parameters for optimal performance demands…

With the ever-increasing amount of data generate in the world, estimated to reach over 200 Zettabytes by 2025, pressure on efficient data storage systems is intensifying. The shift from HDD to flash-based SSD provides one of the most fundamental shifts in storage technology, increasing performance capabilities…

In recent years, resource elasticity and cost optimization have become essential for RDBMSs. While cloud-native RDBMSs provide elastic computing resources via disaggregated computing and storage, storage costs remain a critical user concern. Consequently, data compression emerges as an effective strategy to reduce…

The efficient storage of hydrogen is a critical challenge in the quest for sustainable energy solutions. Current adsorbent-based methods achieve satisfactory storage densities predominantly under cryogenic temperatures and/or high pressures, which imposes problems with cost-efficient and safe implementation of this…

Xenon is used as a propellant for spacecraft. Conventionally, xenon is compressed to high pressures (75-300 bar) for bulk storage onboard the spacecraft. An adsorbed xenon storage system based on nanoporous materials (NPMs) could, potentially, (i) reduce the storage pressures, (ii) allow for thinner-walled and lighter…

Efficient warehouse management is essential for optimizing inventory, minimizing transportation costs, and enhancing overall performance. This research introduces a novel Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) model to address the Storage Location Assignment Problem (SLAP) in warehouse management. Integrating…

Corn planting and harvest scheduling is an important problem due to having a significant impact on corn yield, balancing the capacities for harvest, transport, and storage operations. Different corn hybrids also have different planting window and poor planting and harvest schedules may cause erratic weekly harvest…

Metal hydrides are serious contenders for materials-based hydrogen storage to overcome constraints associated with compressed or liquefied H2. Their ultimate performance is usually evaluated using intrinsic material properties without considering a systems design perspective. An illustrative case with startling…

This study documents a three-year-long project to produce and safely store elemental bromine in a high school laboratory. In the first attempts chlorine displacement by generating chlorine gas with trichloroisocyanuric acid was used to synthesize the bromine. These attempts were observed to be difficult to control, and…

A continued decrease in sequencing costs has facilitated the exponential increase in available sequencing data, with public databases like the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) and Sequence Read Archive (SRA) reaching well in the order of petabases [1, 2]. This has been the incentive to develop more scalable tools for…
