The moving computation on the edge or near to data is the new trend that can break the bandwidth wall and to unleash the power of next generation NVM or SCM memory. File system is the important OS subsystem that plays the role of mediator…
Operating system is a bridge between system and user. An operating system (OS) is a software program that manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. The OS performs basic tasks, such as controlling and allocating memory,…
In this article, the file system development design approaches are discussed. The selection of the file system design approach is done according to the needs of the developers what are the needed requirements and specifications for the new…
Computers are a very important part of our lives and the major reason why they have been such a success is because of the excellent graphical operating systems that run on these powerful machines. As the computer hardware is becoming more…
While the engineering of operating systems is well understood, their formal structure and properties are not. The latter needs a clear definition of the purpose of an OS and an identification of the core. In this paper I offer definitions…
Operating systems are vital system software that, without them, humans would not be able to manage and use computer systems. In essence, an operating system is a collection of software programs whose role is to manage computer resources and…
The operating system (OS) is the backbone of modern computing, providing essential services and managing resources for computer hardware and software. This review paper offers an in-depth analysis of operating systems' evolution, current…
A file system optimization is the most common task in the file system field. Usually, it is seen as the key file system problem. Moreover, it is possible to state that optimization is dominant in commercial development. A problem of a new…
The article provides a new approach to creating hierarchical structure of file system. First, it gives overview of the existing ways of storing files in current operating systems. Second, it describes the new way of building structures of a…
Web Operating Systems can be seen as an extension of traditional Operating Systems where the addresses used to manage files and execute programs (via the basic load/execution mechanism) are extended from local filesystem path-names to URLs.…
Distributed File Systems (DFS) have emerged as sophisticated solutions for efficient file storage and management across interconnected computer nodes. The main objective of DFS is to achieve flexible, scalable, and resilient file storage…
Computer systems have evolved over the years starting from sizable, single-user, slow, and expensive machines to multi-user, fast, cheaper, and small-sized machines. The use of multi-user computer networks has given rise to a new paradigm…
No matter how much the world of computing changes, system design remains crucial. While most people try to learn it through quick tutorials or AI-generated summaries, there is no better way to master the field than by studying the original…
Computer users spend time every day interacting with digital files and folders, including downloading, moving, naming, navigating to, searching for, sharing, and deleting them. Such file management has been the focus of many studies across…
Block devices in computer operating systems typically correspond to disks or disk partitions, and are used to store files in a filesystem. Disks are not the only real or virtual device which adhere to the block accessible stream of bytes…
Recent developments in the industry of personal computing led to a greater number of the so-called edge devices. Such devices typically do not collaborate or foresee the possibility of collaboration to offer aggregated storage and computing…
Virtual file systems are a tool to centralize and mobilize a file system that could otherwise be complex and consist of multiple hierarchies, hard disks, and more. In this paper, we discuss the design of Unix-based file systems and how this…
Data storage systems serve as the foundation of digital society. The enormous data generated by people on a daily basis make the fault tolerance of data storage systems increasingly important. Unfortunately, modern storage systems consist…
Nowadays, Linux file systems have to manage millions of tiny files for different applications, and face with higher metadata operations. So how to provide such high metadata performance with such enormous number of files and large scale…
The Encrypted File System (EFS) pushes encryption services into the file system itself. EFS supports secure storage at the system level through a standard UNIX file system interface to encrypted files. User can associate a cryptographic key…
