IDA - based Disk Arrays

چکیده
Parallel disks can improve I/O performance in a manner analogous to the use of parallel processors to improve computation times. However, due to their data storage function, reliability issues become very important for these parallel disk systems. Currently proposed schemes use shadowing or parity to achieve reliability in parallel disks. In this paper we introduce the idea of using the Information Dispersal Algorithm (IDA) of Michael O. Rabin [Rabin:87] to distribute data and redundancy information uniformly among multiple disks and compare the performance and reliability characteristics of shadowing, parity, and IDA. We discuss some ways to take advantage of the uniformity of data placement and argue that IDA is the algorithm of choice for achieving reliability and performance in parallel disk systems.

متن کاملUsing MEMS-Based Storage in Disk Arrays
Current disk arrays, the basic building blocks of highperformance storage systems, are built around two memory technologies: magnetic disk drives, and non-volatile DRAM caches. Disk latencies are higher by six orders of magnitude than non-volatile DRAM access times, but cache costs over 1000 times more per byte. A new storage technology based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) will soon o...
متن کاملRate of binding of host molecules to artificial receptors formed by self-organisation of lipidated oligopeptides.
The arrays of artificial receptors were synthesized and used in the studies of binding of triphenylmethyl dyes. Rate of binding of Brilliant Black was determined by the measurements of decrease of optical density of dye solution. Considering the fast process of removing excess of dye and uniform coloration of receptors, Brilliant Black was evaluated as the most versatile reporter dye for Indica...

A Video-on-Demand (VOD) server needs to store hundreds of movie titles and to support thousands of concurrent accesses. This, technically and economically, imposes a great challenge on the design of the disk storage subsystem of a VOD server. Due to diierent demands for diierent movie titles, the numbers of concurrent accesses to diierent movie titles can diier a lot. We deene access proole as ...
