A Distributed Spin-Down Algorithm for an Object-Based Storage Device with Write Redirection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a distributed spin-down algorithm for conserving energy in an object-based storage device (OSD) cluster. It differs from traditional spin-down algorithms in that it is cooperative—the decision to spin-down an OSD considers not only its own internal state, but also the state of the other OSDs. Each OSD executes an instance of the spin-down algorithm and adapts to the overall workload. To maximize energy saving, a write request for a spundown OSD may be redirected to another OSD, and a read request for a redirected object will be redirected to the OSD storing that object, thus increasing the spin-down duration of a spun-down OSD.

Reducing Energy Consumption using a Non-Volatile storage cache
We can outperform the most powerful disk spin-down algorithm available by using a small non-volatile storage write-only cache to temporarily store hard disk write requests while a disk is spun-down. In our experiments, we use a USB thumb drive device as our non-volatile storage cache. By redirecting writes to a flash memory while a disk is spun-down we avoid costly hard disk cycle start-stop op...
متن کاملDistributed and Cooperative Compressive Sensing Recovery Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Networks with Bi-directional Incremental Topology
Recently, the problem of compressive sensing (CS) has attracted lots of attention in the area of signal processing. So, much of the research in this field is being carried out in this issue. One of the applications where CS could be used is wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The structure of WSNs consists of many low power wireless sensors. This requires that any improved algorithm for this appli...
