The Design of Large-Scale, Do-It-Yourself RAIDs

چکیده
In this paper we explore the design of “Do-It-Yourself” RAIDs: RAID systems that can assembled by the end user from commercially available disks, enclosures, cables, racks, computers, and networks. We quantitatively evaluate the tradeoffs in cost, performance, and reliability of these DIY-RAID systems. Our principal result is an architecture that scales from 10s to 1000s of disks; we demonstrate that a 1995 implementation would have much lower cost, better and more scalable performance, and roughly the same reliability as commercially available hardware RAID systems. Furthermore, if current trends continue, these DIY-RAIDs will replace near-line tape libraries within a few years.

Reflections on the Application of the Golden Rule of Ethics in the Holy Quran
The golden rule of ethics has various formations and one of the most common ones says: "whatever you like for yourself like it for others too and whatever you do not like for yourself do not like it for others, too." The golden rule has been discussed in most of the religions including Abrahamic Religions. There are numerous narrations with the concept of golden rule but in the Holy Quran, it h...
متن کاملA Variable Structure Observer Based Control Design for a Class of Large scale MIMO Nonlinear Systems
This paper fully discusses how to design an observer based decentralized fuzzy adaptive controller for a class of large scale multivariable non-canonical nonlinear systems with unknown functions of subsystems’ states. On-line tuning mechanisms to adjust both the parameters of the direct adaptive controller and observer that guarantee the ultimately boundedness of both the tracking error and tha...
متن کاملCOMPUTATIONALLY EFFICIENT OPTIMUM DESIGN OF LARGE SCALE STEEL FRAMES
Computational cost of metaheuristic based optimum design algorithms grows excessively with structure size. This results in computational inefficiency of modern metaheuristic algorithms in tackling optimum design problems of large scale structural systems. This paper attempts to provide a computationally efficient optimization tool for optimum design of large scale steel frame structures to AISC...
متن کاملIMPROVED BAT ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMUM DESIGN OF LARGE-SCALE TRUSS STRUCTURES
Deterring the optimum design of large-scale structures is a difficult task. Great number of design variables, largeness of the search space and controlling great number of design constraints are major preventive factors in performing optimum design of large-scale truss structures in a reasonable time. Meta-heuristic algorithms are known as one of the useful tools to d...
