Abstract :
This paper shows the design of MiPFS, a parallel file system intended to be used as a low-level platform to develop more complex I/O entities on top of it. This parallel file system relies on the idea that the user should execute I/O operations using the data-types stored on each object, so that each file can be managed as a typed object. However, as we want to provide a mechanism, and not policies, MiPFS includes functions to manage fixed and variable length records, and their associated indexes. This approach, and the quality of service functionality, allows to use MiPFS as a continuous media parallel file system
