ABSTRACT:
An installable performance accelerator for computer network distributed file systems is provided. A cache subsystem is added onto, or plugged into, an existing distributed file system with no source code modifications to the operating system. The cache subsystem manages a cache on the client computer side which traps file system calls to cached files in order to obtain an immediate and substantial performance increase in distributed file system performance.
