The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques for managing a global namespace for a distributed filesystem. Two or more cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in a cloud storage system; the cloud controllers ensure data consistency for the stored data, and each cloud controller caches portions of the distributed filesystem. Furthermore, a global namespace for the distributed filesystem is also split across these cloud controllers, with each cloud controller “owning” (e.g., managing write accesses for) a distinct portion of the global namespace and maintaining a set of namespace mappings that indicate which portion of the namespace is assigned to each cloud controller. During operation, an initial cloud controller receives a request from a client system to access a target file in the distributed system. This initial cloud controller uses the namespace mappings for the global namespace to determine a preferred cloud controller that will handle the request.

The present invention relates to methods and systems of snapshot management of a file system in a data storage system. To represent the snapshots, the invention maintains pointers to the root block pointer of each snapshot. When the active file system is modified, this invention avoids overwriting any blocks used by previous snapshots by allocating new blocks for the modified blocks. When the invention needs to put an established block in a new location, it must update a parent block to point to the new location. The update to the parent block may then require allocating a new block for the new parent block and so forth. Parts of the file system not modified since a snapshot remain in place. The amount of space required to represent snapshots scales with the fraction of the file system that users modify. To maintain snapshot integrity, this invention keeps track of the first and last snapshots that use each block in space map blocks spread throughout the file system data space. When users delete snapshots, this invention may use a background process to find blocks no longer used by any snapshot and makes them available for future use.

A flexible and extensible automated design partitioning mechanism that facilitates simulation sessions employing two or more simulators is provided. A simulation backplane includes partitioning logic that identifies the design blocks of an overall design pertaining to each of a plurality of simulators. Once the partitions have been identified, nets that cross simulator boundaries (e.g., mixed nets) are determined and inter-simulator connectivity information is generated for the simulators. According to one aspect of the present invention, the partitioning logic is able to accomodate arbitrary (e.g., instance-based) partitioning. A design source expressed in a design representation upon which a first simulator may operate is received. Design blocks to be partitioned to each of a plurality of solvers are identified based upon one or more partitioning directives and the design source. A first instance of a cell is assigned to a first solver and a second instance of the cell is assigned to a second solver. Netlist like information is generated for those of the design blocks that are partitioned to a non-design source solver. To accomodate a folded representation of a design block containing the first or second instance of the cell, one or more additional cells are created. According to another aspect of the present invention, name space mapping is retained across all simulators. A design source upon which a first simulator may operate is read. Based upon a set of rules, a primary partition that is to be simulated by a first solver is identified. The primary partition includes a top cell of the design representation. Additionally, a secondary partition that is to be simulated by a second solver is identified. Subsequently, netlist information is generated for the second solver while retaining name space mapping in the secondary partition by adding one or more levels of hierarchy so as to include information about the top cell in the secondary partition.
