Popularity-Based Online Scaling for RAID Systems Under General Settings

The ever-increasing demand of storage capacity and system performance leads to the scaling requirement in redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID)-structured storage systems. Existing approaches mainly focus on minimizing data migration in …

HCFTL: A Locality-Aware Page-Level Flash Translation Layer

The increasing capacity of SSDs requires a large amount of built-in DRAM to hold the mapping information of logical-to-physical address translation. Due to the limited size of DRAM, existing FTL schemes selectively keep some active mapping entries in …

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 …

A Spatial Mashup Service for Efficient Evaluation of Concurrent $k$ -NN Queries

Although the travel time is the most important information in road networks, many spatial queries, e.g., $k$ -nearest-neighbor ( $k$ -NN) and range queries, for location-based services (LBS) are only based on the network distance. This is because it …

Efficient Parity Update for Scaling RAID-like Storage Systems

It is inevitable to scale RAID systems with the increasing demand of storage capacity and I/O throughput. When scaling RAID systems, we will always need to update parity to maintain the reliability of the storage systems. There are two schemes, …

POS: A Popularity-based Online Scaling scheme for RAID-structured storage systems

The ever-increasing demand of storage capability leads to scaling requirement in RAID-structured storage systems. Previous approaches to RAID scaling mainly focus on minimizing data migration, without considering the user-level application accesses. …

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 …
