Practical evaluation of custom technology-based vs commodity technology-based Storage Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scalable and cost-effective Storage Elements are essential components of Grid systems. An increasing number of data-intensive applications and services in Grids make the cost-effective scalability of capacity and performance of the storage infrastructure a very hot research topic. In this paper, we present the practical evaluation of the performance features of two classes of storage systems. We tested an example custom technology-based storage system, the FC-SATA disk matrix and a commodity-based storage solution, the Violin system, developed at FORTH. Using a block-level benchmark, we examined the performance limits and the scalability features of both classes of systems.

Evaluation of Peak Shifting and Energy Saving Potential of Ice Storage Based Air Conditioning Systems in Iran
Thermal energy storage (TES) system has been introduced as a practical facility for shifting load from peak hours to off-peak hours. Because of different energy consumption during day and night, peak and off peak period is created on load curve. Ice storage technology which is a kind of TES system, is implemented in different points of the world with the purpose of solving load shifting problem...

متن کاملFormation and Evaluation of Oxidation Behavior of Zirconia- Aluminide Coating on Nickel- Based Alloy
Practical applications of thermal barrier coatings with aluminide bond-coats are limited due to oxide scale spallation of the aluminide coating under applied thermal stresses. Considering the positive effects of oxygen-active elements or their oxides on the high temperature oxidation behavior, in this research zirconia was introduced into an aluminide coating. For this purpose, a Watts type bat...
