The development of flash memory drives flash based SSDs to enter into enterprise-scale storage systems. As the kernel of SSD, flash translation layer (FTL) attracts many attentions. Generally, there are two types of FTLs according to the granularity of address mapping: block-level and page-level mapping FTLs. We focus on the latter one. Typically, page-level mapping scheme must employ a cache to alleviate...
The development of flash memory drives flash based SSD to enter into large-scale storage systems. The performance of SSD is highly dependent on the design of FTL. For the last few years, several FTL schemes have been proposed. Such as FAST, BAST, SAST etc. we design a novel FTL based on page-level mapping scheme. Since one of the major troubles of page-level mapping FTL is the unendurable memory consuming...
Along with the rapid growth of heterogeneous cloud services and network technologies, more mobile devices use cloud storage services to enlarge the capacity and share data in our daily lives. We commonly use cloud storage service clients in a straight forward fashion, since we may easily obtain most client-side software from many services providers. However, when more devices and users participate...
In this paper, we propose a demand-driven virtual disk (VD) prefetch mechanism-DPM to improve the performance of virtual machine (VM) at destination site for mobile personal computing environments. DPM uses an optimized COW (Copy-on-Write) virtual block device to split the traditional one-piece large-sized VD image into multiple small-sized SVDs (Software Virtual Disk) at a basic granularity of a...
Multi-level cache hierarchies are very common in today's networked storage environments. Dedicated data servers or file servers are simultaneously accessed by multi-applications of multi-clients. Workload shift results in cache pollution and degrade of hit ratio. Widely used cache policies work well on the case when a single level cache separates the data provider and data consumer, but poorly on...
As an innovative distributed computing technique for sharing the memory resources in high-speed network, RAM Grid exploits the distributed free nodes, and provides remote memory for the nodes which are short of memory. One of the RAM Grid systems named DRACO, tries to provide cooperative caching to improve the performance of the user node which has mass disk I/O but lacks local memory. However, the...
