Abstract
This paper describes the design of a file server operating system called Cypress. The design of Cypress is aimed at improving the file server response time through exploiting latest hardware advances. Cypress is distinctive in its caching and management strategies that take advantage of the large-capacity disk caches, tens to hundreds megabytes, and the powerful processors in contemporary file servers. If compared with general-purpose operating systems that are installed to perform file server operations, Cypress enjoys another advantage of featuring more predictable response time for real-time applications. Based on our measurement on our first version of implementation, the average hit response times of Cypress when running on a Intel 80486 CPU based PC with 32-megabyte memory are 1.38 ms and 1.39 ms for read and write requests, respectively.>
