Abstract

Scalability and fault tolerance are important features of modern applications designed for the distributed, loosely-coupled computer systems. In the paper, two-layer scalable structures for storing data in a distributed RAM of a multicomputer (SD2DS) are introduced. A data unit of SD2DS (a component) is split into a header and a body. The header identifies the body and contains its address in a network. The headers are stored in the first layer of SD2DS, called the component file, while the bodies are stored in the second layer, called the component storage. Both layers are managed independently. Details of the management algorithms are given, along with SD2DS variant suitable for storing plain records of data. The SD2DS is compared to similar distributed structures and frameworks. Comparison considerations together with test results are also given. The results proved superiority of SD2DS over similar structures.
