Abstract: A data processing system includes a data processing arrangement, wherein the data processing arrangement includes computing hardware for executing one or more software products, wherein execution of the one or more software products configures the data processing arrangement to access data from a file system arrangement.
Abstract: A method of structuring data in a virtual file system, includes using the file system to apply specific handling of data that represents genomic sequence information or information that is related to genomic sequences. The method also concerns portioning the data into a collection of storage devices that have different cost and performance characteristics, wherein the splitting policy is based on a cost model. The method is executable by employing a computing device functioning under software control.
