Abstract
A distributed storage system includes memory hosts, a curator, and a cache manager. Each memory host includes remote direct memory accessible non-transitory memory and a network interface controller that is in communication with the memory. The network interface controller services remote direct memory access requests. The curator communicates with the memory hosts, manages striping of a file amongst the memory hosts, and generates a file descriptor for the file that maps the striping of the file to corresponding storage locations on memory hosts. In addition, the cache manager stores copies of file descriptors generated by the curator in the memory of the memory hosts for remote direct memory access by a client in communication with the memory hosts.
