Performance and Power Evaluation of Flash-Aware Buffer Algorithms

چکیده
With flash disks being an important alternative to conventional magnetic disks, various design aspects of DBMSs, whose I/O behavior is performance-critical, and especially their I/O architecture should be reconsidered. Taking the distinguished characteristics of flash disks into account, several flash-aware buffer algorithms have been proposed with focus on flash-specific performance optimizations. We introduce several basic principles of flash-aware buffer management and evaluate performance and energy consumption of related algorithms in a DBMS environment using both flash disks and magnetic disks. Our experiments reveal the importance of those principles and the potential of flash disks both in performance improvement and in energy saving.

Flash-Aware Buffer Management for Database Systems
Classical buffer replacement policies, e. g., LRU, are suboptimal for database systems having flash disks for persistence, because they are not aware of the distinguished characteristics of flash-based storage devices. We introduce the basic principles of buffer management for such devices and present two efficient buffer algorithms that apply these principles. These algorithms significantly im...

Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
