Write requests which stored in disk cache of the RAID5 controller should be destaged to disk arrays according to the destage algorithm. As the response performance of the parallel IO request is being hit by the effect of the destage, several destage algorithms have been studied to enhance the performance of he RAID5 controller. Among the destage algorithms, the load balancing destage algorithm has better performance than other destage algorithms when system load is highly increased. But the load balancing destage algorithm gives priority to load balance among the disks in disk arrays, therefore, when some disks are affected by the very heavy system load caused by small data requests, the load balancing destage algorithm cannot enhance the performance of parallel IO requests effectively since it makes effort to maintain the load balance without the benefit of the locality of the write requests. This paper proposes a new RAID5 controller that applied reference-load balancing destage algorithm which decides the destage priority based on the reference history and load distribution of the disks. The simulation results show that RAID5 controller with the reference-load balancing destage algorithm has better performance than previous load balancing destage algorithm.

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.

The checkpointing schemes should reduce the process delay through managing the checkpoints of each node to fit the network load to enhance the performance of the process running on the cluster system that write the checkpoints into its global stable storage. For this reason, a cluster system with single IO space on a distributed RAID chooses a suitable checkpointng scheme to get the maximum IO performance and the best rollback recovery efficiency. In this paper, we improved the striped checkpointing scheme with dynamic stripe group size by adapting to the network bandwidth variation at the point of checkpointing. To analyze the performance of the multi striped checkpointing scheme, we applied Linpack HPC benchmark with MPI on our own cluster system with maximum 512 virtual nodes. The benchmark results showed that the multistriped checkpointing scheme has better performance than the striped checkpointing scheme on the checkpoint writing efficiency and rollback recovery at heavy system load.

이 Paper는 Server 솔루션에서 사용되는 RAID 컨트롤러가 Disk 상의 에러(Error)를 처리하는 behavior를 분석하고 이를 개선할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. RAID Level 중에 가장 기본인 RAID 0는 주로 Internet portal site의 Search Engines 이나 Media streaming Servers, 그리고 HD 영상 편집 시스템에서 사용된다. 그러나 Fault tolerance가 지원되지 않기 때문에 Data Volume(logical Disk)의 보존성이 약한 취약점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 이것을 개선하고 Data 보존성을 높일 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

Solid State Disks(SSD) are one of the best candidates to support next storage technology in desktop and server computing environment. The features of non-volatility, low power consumption, and fast access time for read operations are sufficient grounds to support SSD as major components of future storages. This paper describes a technical trend of HDD based RAID technology and proposes a new RAID system for SSD.

Database benchmarks require efficient of large-scale data. This presents the system architecture, control flows, and characteristics of the data generator we have developed. The data generator features generation of large-scale data, column-by-column data generation, a number of data distributions and verification, and real data generation. An extensive conparison with other data generators in terms of function is also presented. Finally, empirical performance experiments between RAID systems and non-RAID one have been conducted to alleviate I/O bottleneck. The test results can serve as guidelines to help confifure system architecture.

Recently, the volume of data is increasing rapidly in server for multimedia service, according to development of multimedia application environment. In recent research for storage technology the technology like of the SAN(Storage Area Network) advantages in scalibility of storage devices, and can read data from multiple disk arrays through RAID 0, 5. The RAID 0 and 5 translate to logical address to physical address using equation, but in case of adding disks at the system with equation -based mapping, the problem that we must rearrange the whole data in the previous disks happens. We use the mapping table to solve this problem in recent, but we can not load the whole mapping table in main memory because it occupies too large space. Therefore the extra I/Os are demanded to evaluate real physical address of data, so total performance of the system is degraded. In this paper, we propose the mapping method that supports the scalibility in RAID 0 or 5 system. The proposing method applies small metadata, so- called SZIT and simple equation, so it is possible that we make translate logical address to physical address rapidly and it is scalable in disk extending simultaneously Our suggesting method, if we add disks to the striping system for expanding of storage capacity, has an advantage of never stop service. So, SZlT-based mapping method can do online-disk-expanding in real-time service.

RAID(Redundant mays of inexpensive disks) were proposed as a way to use parallelism between multiple disks to improve aggregate I/O performance. The emerging of intelligent I/O architecture provides a standard for high performance I/O subsystems and introducer intelligence at the hardware level. With an embedded processor, intelligent I/O adaptors can offload the major I/O processing workload from the CPU and, at the same time, increase the I/O performance. This parer addresses the essential issue in the design of disk scheduling for intelligent I/O devices. In this paper we compare with MB throughput per second and maximum I/O respond time in RAID.
