Abstract
The requirements for a large-scale distributed storage system are outlined and a description is given of how a system being developed, called the LINCS storage system (LSS), meets the requirements. The LSS provides distributed storage in an environment that includes supercomputer host machines and a large-capacity hierarchical central repository. The key terms and concepts of the LSS are defined and a brief architectural overview of the system is given. Major system components are described in more detail. The contributions of the LSS to the design of large-scale distributed storage systems are identified and discussed. The current status of the development of the LSS is described, and hardware and software components are briefly discussed.Keywords
