Abstract
Disclosed are a system, a method, and a computer program product to optimize the overall latency of transferring data from peer computers to storage devices. The latency optimization occurs after a group of data is received and organized by the peer computers. The average amount of time to transfer data to each particular storage device from the peer computers is used to determine the assignment of data transfers between the peer computers. Each peer computer maintains continuously updated measurements of the average time to transfer data to each storage device. The updated transfer time measurements are based upon a moving average with adjustable weighting of past and present measurements enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions.
