Mime: a high performance parallel storage device with strong recovery guarantees
Chia Chao, Robert English, David Jacobson, Alexander A. Stepanov, John Wilkes · 1997
this paper is organized as follows. We begin with an overview of the kind of recovery properties desirable for a storage system and follow this with a description of related work---one part of which is a key foundation for the Mime architecture. Next, we introduce the functionality and architecture of Mime itself at high level, and follow that with a description of the components of the Mime architecture. We analyze the performance impact of Mime on both existing file systems and new ones that exploit the new functionality, and conclude with a summary of results, and current status.
