멀티미디어와 인터넷의 대중화가 야기한 급격한 데이터의 증가는 테라(Tera)바이트 이상의 대용량 저장공간과 대용량 정보의 효율적인 공유를 지원하는 스토리지 시스템을 요구하고 있으며 이를 위하여 SAN 기반의 스토리지 클러스터링 시스템들이 많이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 환경에서 하드웨어 또는 소프트웨어 RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks)는 대용량 정보의 고성능의 입출력과 신뢰성을 위해서 필수적이 되었다. 범용적인 RAID로는 RAE-0, RAID-1, RAID-5가 주로 사용되고 있으며 각각의 레벨은 장단점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 RAID-0와 RAID-1이 갖는 문제점들의 보완을 위하여 변형된 RAID 레벨인 RAID-SM을 제안한다. RAID-SM은 기존의 RAID-1이 가지는 데이터의 가용성을 유지하면서 추가적인 비용 없이 RAID-0의 우수한 입출력 성능을 얻기 위한 RAID-1의 변형된 방식이다. RAID-SM의 구현을 위하여 디스크상의 데이터의 배치 및 데이터 맵핑 탕식을 정의하고 RAID-SM에서의 I/O방법을 기술한다. 제안하는 RAID-SM은 멀티미디어나 GIS 데이터와 같은 읽기 연산 집약적인 시스템을 대상으로 하는 안정적인 레이드 방식이며 RAID-SM의 장점 및 성능은 본 논문에서의 실험을 통한 결과로서 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose differential-logging method to improve the performance of RMW(Read Modify Write) operations of DDR-SSD based software RAID. Small writes that are frequently occurred in enterprise applications are main factor to degrade the performance of RAID5. Once a block is updated in RAID5, the parity block of the block must be updated to maintain consistency of parity. Therefore, to process a small write request, we need to read its parity block stored in disk, read old data, perform XOR operation, and write updated data and parity block. Several methods for hard disk based software RAID are proposed to solve the small write problems in RAID 5. Ln this paper, we propose a differential-logging method which carefully considers the DDR-SSD to solve the small write problem in RAID 5. We show that our proposed method out performs the existing software RAID in LINUX through simulations.

In this article, we present, design, and implement a software and hardware for an embedded RAID system. The merits and drawbacks of our system are presented by performance evaluation. The proposed hardware system consists of three fibre channel controllers for the interface with fibre channel disks and hosts. Embedded Linux in which a RAID software is implemented is ported to the hardware. A SCSI target mode device driver and a target mode SCSI module are designed for that our RAID system is considered as a block device to a host computer. Linux Multi-device is used as RAID functions of this system. A data cache module is implemented for high performance and the interconnection between Linux Multi-device and the target mode SCSI module. The RAID 5 module of Multi-device is modified for improvement of read performance. The benchmark shows that the new RAID 5 module is superior to the original one in overall performance.

본 논문은 RAID 시스템의 몇 가지 구성에 대해 시뮬레이션을 통해 그 성능을 분석한다. 대용량의 RAID를 구성하기 위해서는 다수의 디스크가 필요한데 반해, 하나의 PCI의 버스에 연결될 수 있는 장치의 개수 제한되어 있어 이 경우 확장 PCI 버스가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 RAID 시스템의 하드웨어 구조, 특히 각 구성요소를 연결하는 PCI버스의 부하에 초점을 맞춘다. 버스 트랜잭션을 세 가지로 분류하고, 각각의 경우를 분석하고 평가한다. 이 분석으로부터 RAID 시스템의 두 가지 구조에 대해 성능을 계산하고 시뮬레이션 한 결과를 비교한다.

RAID systems have been used as a mass storage system with high parallelism and availability. Especially RAID systems with parity declustering are widely studied as a technique to provide high fault tolerancy and availability by reducing performance degradation in case of disk fuilures. In this paper, a new organization of parity declustering with distributed spare units is proposed. And in normal mode where there are no failures, it is shown that these organization can improve the performance of RAID systems. By simulation methods, it is proved that the performance of RAID system in normal mode is improved by 5 to 15%.

A large RAID system may consist of several PCI bus segments since a PCI bus segment can connect only a limited number of disks. In this paver, PCI bus transactions in a RAID system are classified in terms of the initiator and the target of the transaction. Also, the data transfer time of each transaction type is analyzed. By using the analysis results, read and write performance of two RAID system configurations are formulated. From simulation of the RAID system using the DEVS formalism, performance of the configurations are evaluated and compared with the analytical results while changing various system parameters.

RAID were proposed to stored double data or used to parity logging methode for error recovery. We describe a technique for automating the execution of redundant disk array operation, including recovery from errors, independent of array architecture. RAID5 provide highly reliable cost effective secondary storage with high performance for read access and large write accessed. It discusses the two architectural techniques used in disk arrays, striping across multiple disks to improve performance and redundancy to improve reliability. In this paper we compare with performance and reliability in RAID5 real/write to file and stripe size. than suggest to algorithm.

In this paper, we have designed and implemented the RAID controller board which connects to the host computer with serial ATA interface and connects to the disks with parallel ATA interface. Serial ATA interface is proposed to overcome the design limitation of parallel ATA while enabling the storage interface to scale with the slowing media rate demands for PC platforms. Serial ATA is to replace parallel ATA with the compatibility with existing operating systems and drivers, adding performance headroom for years to come. It Moreover, serial ATA provides even faster transfer rate of 150 Mbytes/s which is larger than that of current parallel ATA. The RAID controller board designed in this paper combines up to 4 disks with parallel ATA interface, and connects to PC host computer with serial ATA interface. We have implemented RAID controller using Verilog HDL language with FPGA chip. The RAID controller supports RAID level 0 and 1 functionality. Experimently, the average read/write performance of parallel ATA interface is about 30 Mbytes/s. Therefore, when 4 parallel disks is connected to the RAID controller board, we can get almost full throughput of serial ATA protocol using the RAID level 0 configuration with 4 disks.

In this paper, we propose a simple hardware reporting method for errors in soft-RAID systems of Linux OS. Compared with other reporting methods, the proposed method displays error status intuitively without any additional access process such as log-in process or home-page access. In particular, the server actively displays the error status, so the administrator can take immediate action. In order to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, the experimental circuit was constructed and the experimental results showed that the error was actively displayed when an error occurred in the storage device. As such, a soft-RAID system can perform almost the same function as a hardware RAID system, thereby ensuring server data reliability at low cost.
