HyBuM: Energy-Efficient Hybrid Mobile Storage Systems using Solid States and Buffer Disks
نویسنده
چکیده
High performance and energy-efficient storage systems are essential for mobile dataintensive applications such as remote surgery and mobile data center. Existing mobile storage systems consist of an array of independent small form factor hard disks connected to a host by a storage interface in a mobile computing environment. Although hard disks are cost-effective and can provide huge capacity and high-throughput, they have some intrinsic limitations such as long access latencies, high annual disk replacement rates, fragile physical characteristics, and energyinefficiency. Compared with hard disk drives, solid-state disks (SSD) are much more energyefficient, and can offer much faster access times. A major concern on current solid-state disk is its relatively higher price. In this paper, we developed hybrid energy efficient mobile disk architecture SBUD that integrates an array of solid-state disks with buffer disks and an array of mobile disks. The most recently used data will be cached in the solid state disks, the second most popular data will be stored in the buffer disks, and the least used data sets will be stored in the mobile disk array. Experimental results demonstratively show that SBUD provides significant energy saving for mobile storage systems such as laptops, mobile phones, and PDA compared non-hybrid architecture.

Mobile multimedia computers require large amounts of data storage, yet must consume low power in order to prolong battery life. Solid-state storage offers low power consumption, but its capacity is an order of magnitude smaller than the hard disks needed for high-resolution photos and digital video. In order to create a device with the space of a hard drive, yet the low power consumption of sol...

In this paper, we present an energy-aware informed prefetching technique called Eco-Storage that makes use of the application-disclosed access patterns to group the informed prefetching process in a hybrid storage system (e.g., hard disk drive and solid state disks). Since the SSDs are more energy efficient than HDDs, aggressive prefetching for the data in the HDD level enables it to have as mu...

There is a lack of thermal models for storage clusters; most existing thermal models do not take into account the utilization of hard drives (HDDs) and solid state disks (SSDs). To address this problem, we build a thermal model for hybrid storage clusters that are comprised of HDDs and SSDs. We start this study by generating the thermal profiles of hard drives and solid state disks. The profili...
