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.

Enterprise storage systems that require high data reliability are applying RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) systems to recover from data loss and failure. In particular, RAID 5 ensures space efficiency and reliability by distributing parity across multiple storage devices. However, when storage devices have different capacities, RAID is built based on the smallest capacity storage device, resulting in wasted storage space. Therefore, research is needed to solve this resource management problem. In this paper, we propose a method for RAID grouping of each independent NAND flash memory block in a RAID consisting of SSD (Solid State Disk) with external SSDs as well as internal SSDs. This method is divided into a policy for delivering block information inside SSDs to the RAID system and a policy for RAID grouping of physical addresses delivered from the RAID system. This method allows us to maintain a RAID that does not waste resources when SSDs of different capacities are grouped into RAID5. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments.

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 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.

In this paper, we propose the acceleration method of the DDR-SSD RAID level 5. The DDR-SSD is the storage device of the Next Generation Storage(NGS) system. The DDR-SSD has different characteristics with HDD and Flash SSD. That's why the DDR-SSD RAID level 5 does not provide the best performance when the normal acceleration method is used. In this paper, to accelerate the DDR-SSD RAID level 5 operation, we propose the parity cache and the architecture of the parity cell. The parity cache stores only parity blocks. This acceleration method proposed in this paper reduce the number of the disk access and the overhead of parity operations.

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%.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the parity cache enabled RAID level-5 via the simulation. This RAID system consists of the DDR memory-based storage devices. To do this, we develop the simulation model and suggest the basic performance analysis data which we want to get via the simulation. And we implement the simulator based on the simulation model and execute the simulator. From the result of the simulation, we expect that the parity cache enabled RAID level-5 configured by the DDR memory based storage devices has the positive effectiveness to the enhancing of the storage system performance if the storage access patterns of applications are tuned.

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.

It is very important to recover data immediately at a single disk failure for critical applications such as multimedia storage systems. real-time systems and so on. As an efficient solution, this paper proposes that RAID level conversion scheme to improve the performance before a failed disk is replaced with a new disk. By using this scheme, it does not require an additional disk to recover data. Comparing with previous studies, this scheme is appropriate to low cost system that has not additional redundant device. The performance of proposed scheme is evaluated and analyzed with that of 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 compared with that of RAID level 5 at the failure mode and 80 percents at reconfigured mode.
