Flexible user-definable performance of name resolution operations in distributed file systems
Pradeep K. Sinha, M. Maekawa · 2002
We propose a mechanism for improving the performance of name resolution operations in distributed file systems. The mechanism is based on the idea of reducing the number of message exchanges required for the resolution of a particular file name. In this mechanism, users are given the flexibility to dynamically define and change their performance requirements for the various file names being used by them.>
