Abstract

Hotfile is a user level file management system. It wraps GridFTP and GASS or any other file transfer protocol compatible with hotfile structure into a unified vegafile protocol. Based on virtual grid file layer and a set of basic grid file operations, users can access grid file without knowing the physical transport protocol of the file. Test result shows the overhead of vegafile protocol is little in file transfer and operation. Further vegafile transfer experiment shows when file size is smaller than 1M byte, Vega file copy with GASS has higher bandwidth, where as file is larger than 1M byte, Vega file copy with GridFTP has higher bandwidth.
