A Linux Implementation Validation of Track-Aligned Extents and Track-Aligned RAIDs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Through clean-slate implementation of two storage optimizations—track-aligned extents and track-aligned RAIDs—this paper shows the values of independent validations. The experience revealed many unanticipated disk and storage data path behaviors as potential roadblocks for wide deployment of these optimizations, and also identified implementation issues to retrofit these concepts to legacy data paths.

Track-Aligned Extents: Matching Access Patterns to Disk Drive Characteristics
Track-aligned extents (traxtents) utilize disk-specific knowledge to match access patterns to the strengths of modern disks. By allocating and accessing related data on disk track boundaries, a system can avoid most rotational latency and track crossing overheads. Avoiding these overheads can increase disk access efficiency by up to 50% for mid-sized requests (100–500 KB). This paper describes ...

متن کاملA Behind-the-Scenes Story on Applying Cross-Layer Coordination to Disks and RAIDs
Coordinating storage components across abstraction layers has demonstrated significant performance gains. However, when applied near the physical storage, this approach relies on exposing and exploiting low-level hardware characteristics, perhaps a large number of them, to cope with complex modern disks and RAIDs to apply such an approach. Through clean-room implementations and validations of p...
متن کاملMATREX: DCU machine translation system for IWSLT 2006
In this paper, we give a description of the machine translation system developed at DCU that was used for our first participation in the evaluation campaign of the International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (2006). This system combines two types of approaches. First, we use an EBMT approach to collect aligned chunks based on two steps: deterministic chunking of both sides and chunk a...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Influences of Track Superstructure Parameters on Ballasted Railway Track Design
The main design criteria of ballasted railway tracks include rail deflections, rail bending stresses, rail wheel contact stresses, sleeper bending moments and ballast sleeper contact pressures. Numerous criteria have been defined for the design of ballasted railway tracks owing to the various mechanical properties of track components and their complex interaction. Therefore, railway track desig...
