Abstract

See full text

Permitting multiple concurrent read operations upon a file system enhances small file performance. A respective instance of a thread routine stores the data from each file into a series of buffers for the file. Each instance is identified by a Process Identifier (PID) used for streaming the data from the buffers in the order in which the files are opened instead of the order in which the file data are returned by the read operations. In order to conserve buffer memory, read operations upon a file are suspended once a certain amount of data have been read from the file unless data from the file are being streamed from the buffers.
