Matti Kosola is 25 years old, about to graduate this fall as a Master of Science from Tampere University of Technology, in Finland. He has major in software engineering and minors in communications engineering and industrial management. He started his career as a research assistant at 2005 in Tampere U of Tech working on developing tool project to Nokia 770. Since spring 2006 he has been researching Linux clustering file systems.
Clustering is a way to create a system where computers gain access to each
others' data and resources. In principle, this adds more computing power and
redundancy to the system; however, practical implementations often consume
more resources due to the overhead associated with synchronization of
facilities in different computers.
One type of a clustering system is one where file systems form a cluster to
better serve clients of data stored in the files. For instance, many Internet
servers and telecommunications systems can benefit from such a setup, as an
error in one computer does not necessarily harm the whole cluster. Instead,
the failing computer can simply be removed from the cluster, and others can
continue their normal operations.
