What is The DEMOS file system about?
This paper discusses the design of the file system for DEMOS, an operating system being developed for the CRAY-1 computer at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory. The goals to be met, in particular the performance and usability considerations, are outlined. A description is given of the user interface and the general structure of the file system and the file system routines. A simple model of program behavior is used to demonstrate the effect of buffering data by the file system routines. A disk space allocation strategy is described which will take advantage of this buffering. The last section outlines how the performance mechanisms are integrated into the file system routines.
Who reads The DEMOS file system?
