Paper for Lecture 3 + Exercise Sheet 2 + Lecture 2 Slides
Written on 30.10.2026 11:06 by Andrew Geyko
Hello all.
I have updated the CMS with the paper for next weeks lecture, namely GPFS (https://www.usenix.org/conference/fast-02/gpfs-shared-disk-file-system-large-computing-clusters). Please read this paper before the lecture next week so we can discuss it. Exercise sheet 2 and lecture 2 are also up on CMS.
Please keep in mind that it is not an expectation that you will finish the entire exercise sheet within one week. The exercise sheets are meant to prepare you for working on the project and to give you familiarity with the concepts in the class. As such, feel free to pick the problems that would help you practice the concepts most unfamiliar to you, and treat the exercise sheets as an opportunity to explore the tools and systems we present in the lecture. That being said, any problems that require you to work out a problem by hand will be the most relevant to what you might expect to see on the midterms.
