This paper presents Cluster-Aware Remote Disks
(CARDs), a Single System I/O architecture for cluster computing. CARDs virtualize accesses to remote cluster disks
over a System Area Network. Their operation is driven by
cooperative caching policies that implement a joint management of the cluster caches. All the CARDs of a given
disk employ a common policy, independently of other CARD
sets. CARD drivers have been implemented as Linux kernel
modules which can flexibly accommodate various cooperative caching algorithms. We designed and implemented a
decentralized policy called Home-based Serverless Cooperative Caching (HSCC). HSCC showed cache hit ratios over
50% for workloads that go beyond the limit of the global
cache. The best speedup of a CARD over a remote disk interface was 1.54.
