Balanced Parity Update Algorithm with Queueing Length Awareness for RAID Arrays

In parity-based RAID arrays, to update a data chunk, the corresponding parity chunk(s) must be updated accordingly so as to keep data consistency and availability. To achieve this, either read-modify-write (RMW) or read-construct-write (RCW) could be …

Grouping-Based Elastic Striping with Hotness Awareness for Improving SSD RAID Performance

RAID provides a good option to provide device-level fault tolerance. Conventional RAID usually updates parities with read-modify-write or read-reconstruct-write, which may introduce a lot of extra I/Os and thus significantly degrade SSD RAID …
