Flash memories are one of best media to support future computer's storages. However, we need to improve traditional data management scheme due to the relatively slow characteristics of flash operation of SSD. Due to the unique characteristics of flash media and hard disk, the efficiency of I/O processing is severely reduced without special treatment, especially in the presence of heavy workload or bulk data copy. In this respect, we need to design and develop efficient hybrid-RAID storage system.

In this paper we evaluate the performance of the cached RAID5 which uses the parity cache and the data cache to overcome the small write problem. From the result of the simulation study we show that the cached RAID5 provides performance improvement with reasonable cache size.

본 논문은 IP스토리지 네트워크를 이용한 저장시스템 기술 중에서 활용 범위가 높고 최근에 표준화된 iSCSI (internee SCSI) 프로토콜을 실제 RAID 시스템 내에 구현하고, 그 성능을 기존의 파이버채널(FC) 스토리지 네트워크 기술과 비교 평가한다. 또한, iSCSI 프로토콜을 RAID내에 구현시 고성능을 위해서 고려해야 될 사항들과 그 영향을 분석한다.

RAID 시스템에서 디스크 캐시는 시스템 성능 향상에 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 2단계 캐시는 1단계 캐시에 비해 우수한 성능을 보이고 시간적, 공간적 지역성에도 효율적이다. 제안된 캐시 시스템은 2 단계로 구성되어 1단계 캐시는 작은 블록 크기로 구성되어 세트 연관 사상 방식을 이용하고 2단계 캐시는 큰 블록 크기로 구성되어 전 연관 사상 방식을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 특히 대용량 디스크 캐시에서 디스크입출력 시간을 향상시키고 효율적으로 일관성을 유지할 수 있는 디스크 제어기 상에 위치하는 RAID 5 디스크 캐시의 모델을 제시하여 적중률을 향상시켜 수행속도를 개선시키고자 한다.

In the global IT market, a lot of issues for responding to various environmental regulations emerged. In case of the data centers, it is consuming huge amounts of energy to maintain. So there have been various technical attempts as Consolidation, Virtualization, Optimization to efficiently manage energy and data storage to fix the problems. In this paper, we propose a new RAID(Redundant Array of Independent Disks) mechanism which is differing the intensity of power consumption and works to provide data protection and disaster recovery(backup, mirroring etc.) to stratify multiple volumes. G-RAID minimize the power consumption and the lower of I/O performance by selecting the volume depending on the frequency of data access while classifying the power consumption between volumes in storage system. Also, it is possible that a filesystem and block map information of G-RAID is processed by basic unit which is group located in a row for the blocks to work efficiently and can minimize the performance degradation of block mapping load by the access frequency in each groups. As a result, we obtained to elevate a little bit of response time caused by block relocation work, but showed the decrease of power consumption by 38%.

For real time services of multimedia applications, storage systems should provide data without degrading their performance. Since it is very important to recover data immediately at a disk failure, the disk recovery system is required. This paper presents a hybrid recovery scheme which prevents degraded the performance on a single disk failure at RAID level 5 architecture until the failed disk is replaced with a new disk. The proposed scheme is very economical compared to previous spare disk schemes because it does not use extra disks. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated and analyzed with that of the RAID level 5 for various requested sizes through the simulation. The results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is improved up to 20 percents at the failure mode and 80 percents at the reconfigured mode. After a multimedia server system has been built with a RAID controller and hard disks, the data recovery performance of the propose scheme are compared with the results of simulation.

Energy conservation of server systems has become important. Though storage subsystem is one of the biggest power consumers, development of energy conservation techniques is challenging problem due to striping techniques like RAID and physical characteristics of hard disks. According to our observation, the size of footprint for a day or for hours is much smaller compared to the size of whole data set. In this paper, we describe a design of a novel architecture for RAID that uses an SSD as a large cache to conserve energy by holding such a footprint. We incorporate these approaches into a real implementation of a RAID 5 system that consists of four hard disks and an SSD in a Linux environment. Our preliminary results in actual performance measurements using the cello99 and SPC traces show that energy consumption is reduced by a maximum of 14%.

RAID 5 is a widely-used technique used to construct disk systems of high reliability and performance. This paper proposes APGOC (Adaptive Parity Group On Cache) organization on cache to solve "small write" problem of RAID 5 especially in OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing System) environments. In our approach, when user process makes a request for a file to kernel, the information on the read/write characteristics is added to the file data structure of the file system. With this information, data and parity cache can be managed interchangeably through parity fetching. Therefore we can enhance the cache utilization and improve the disk request response time. Our method is analyzed and evaluated with a simulation method. Comparing with previous works, we observed about 6~l3% of performance enhancement.hancement.

In this paper, we propose a method to remotely intuitively identify faults found in storage devices in soft-RAID used in a server system composed of Linux. To do this, we analyze the principle and problem of fault reporting method in the soft-RAID system of Linux OS and suggest the state of storage devices in remote Internet Home-page. The proposed method consists of a method of displaying images on the Internet home-page, so that it can be arranged freely when creating a home-page, and the image data is composed of external files, so it is bery convenient to edit and replace images In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, we have confirmed that the state of each storage device can be confirmed at a long distance without any major addition to the Home-page configuration.

고속 저장 장치로 사용되는 플래시 메모리 기반의 SSD와 전통적인 HDD에 대한 기초 연구와 개선점에 대하여 논하였다. 고속 SSD는 낮은 전력소모, 빠른 데이터 읽기속도 등의 특징으로 데스크톱 및 서버용 데이터베이스의 핵심 저장 요소가 되었다. 하지만, 빠른 읽기 연산에 비하여 상대적으로 느리거나 프리징이 있는 SSD의 쓰기 연산 특성을 고려하여 HDD와 RAID에 기반을 둔 기존의 전통적인 스토리지 관리 기법을 개선할 필요가 있다. 이를 위하여, 본 논문은 전통적인 RAID-1 미러링에 기반을 둔 복합적 미러링 기법을 제안한다. 제안 기법은 SSD에서 발생 가능한 프리징 현상을 피하기 위한 쓰기-부하 밸런싱과 쓰기 지연 연산을 통하여 RAID-1 처리 성능을 개선한다.
