Abstract

In this study, the performance of a parallel file system (N-PFS) which is implemented using conventional disks as disk arrays on a Workstation Cluster, is analyzed by using analytical method and actual values in experiments. N-PFS can be used as high-performance file server in small-scale server systems and efficiently process massive data I/Os such as multimedia and scientific data. In this paper, an analytical model was suggested and the correctness of the suggested was verified by analyzing the experimental values on a system. The result of the performance analysis, which is achieved by joining the analytical model and the experimental values, shows that the appropriate striping unit for processing massive data on the Workstation Cluster with 8 disks is 64~128Kbytes and the maximum throughput on it is 15.8Mbytes/sec. In addition, the performance of parallel file system on massive data is bounded by the time required to copy data between buffers.
