STELLA (short for Systems Thinking, Experimental Learning Laboratory with Animation; also marketed as iThink) is a visual programming language for system dynamics modeling introduced by Barry Richmond in 1985. The program, distributed by isee systems (formerly High Performance Systems) allows users to run models created as graphical ...
This system is characterized by the open systems model and self-directed work team, which are also key to the success of a high performance organization. Research on the sociotechnical systems approach to work has shown that this approach is related to increased employee satisfaction and motivation. [6]
HPFS (High Performance File System) is a file system created specifically for the OS/2 operating system to improve upon the limitations of the FAT file system. It was written by Gordon Letwin and others at Microsoft and added to OS/2 version 1.2, at that time still a joint undertaking of Microsoft and IBM, and released in 1988.
XFS is a high-performance 64-bit journaling file system created by Silicon Graphics, Inc (SGI) in 1993. [7] It was the default file system in SGI's IRIX operating system starting with its version 5.3.
BeeGFS (formerly FhGFS) is a parallel file system developed for high-performance computing. BeeGFS includes a distributed metadata architecture for scalability and flexibility reasons. It specializes in data throughput. BeeGFS was originally developed at the Fraunhofer Center for High Performance Computing in Germany by a team led by Sven ...
Barry Marshall Richmond (14 November 1946 – 3 August 2002) was an American systems scientist, and former managing director of High Performance Systems, Inc (HPS), an organization providing software and consulting services to build the capacity of people to understand and improve the workings of dynamic systems.
In contrast, the work system approach defines work system carefully and uses it as a basic analytical concept. A work system is a system in which human participants and/or machines perform work (processes and activities) using information, technology, and other resources to produce products/services for internal or external customers.
High Performance Storage System (HPSS) is a flexible, scalable, policy-based, software-defined hierarchical storage management (HSM) product developed by the HPSS Collaboration. It provides scalable HSM, archive, and file system services using cluster, LAN and storage area network (SAN) technologies to aggregate the capacity and performance of ...
