Abstract

Methods and systems are described comprising a plurality of nodes each comprising at least one processor and at least one storage device providing storage for the system along with an interconnect configured to establish connections between pairs of nodes. The nodes may be configured (e.g. programmed) to determine from a file identifier that identifies a particular file that a node desires to access, which of the plurality of nodes stores the desired file. The interconnect may then establish a connection between the node and the node storing the file to permit the node desiring access to access the file (e.g., read or write the file). Further, the system comprising the plurality of nodes (e.g., a cluster computing architecture) may be balanced or nearly balanced.
