Regulating I/O Performance of Shared Storage with a Control Theoretical Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shared storage has become commonplace with recent trends in storage technologies, such as storage consolidation and virtualization, etc. Meanwhile, storage QoS, which guarantees different storage service requirements from various applications toward shared storage, is gaining in importance. This paper proposes a new scheme which combines a feedback-controlled leaky bucket with a fair queuing algorithm in order to deliver guaranteed storage service for applications competing for shared storage. It not only assures an agreed-upon response time for each application, but also maximizes the aggregate I/O throughput by proportionating unused bandwidth to other active applications. Simulation results under various types of competing I/O workloads validate the features of the proposed scheme.

The effect of SiO2 nanoparticle on the performance of photovoltaic thermal system: Experimental and Theoretical approach
The low conversion efficiency of solar cells produces large amounts of thermal energy to the cells, and with an increase in the temperature of solar cells, their electrical efficiency decreases. Therefore, a hybrid photovoltaic thermal system improves the overall efficiency of the system by adding thermal equipment to the solar cell and removing excessive heat from these cells. In this paper, w...
متن کاملModeling and Performance Evaluation of Multi-Processors Organization with Shared Memories
This paper is primarily concerned with theoretical evaluation of the performance of multiprocessors system. A markovian waiting line model has been developed for various different multi-processors configurations, with shared memory. The system is analysed at the request level rather than job level.
متن کاملComparative Analysis of Sectoral Multipliers of Input-Output Model and Social Accounting Matrix
The present study is to indicate that the comparison between sectoral production multipliers of an input-output (I/O) model and a social accounting matrix (SAM) framework is almost impossible without taking into account accounting balances and theoretical considerations. Theoretically, the I/O model provides the Leontief’s production function, on the basis of which sectoral output multiplier ca...
متن کاملTuning HDF5 subfiling performance on parallel file systems
Subfiling is a technique used on parallel file systems to reduce locking and contention issues when multiple compute nodes interact with the same storage target node. Subfiling provides a compromise between the single shared file approach that instigates the lock contention problems on parallel file systems and having one file per process, which results in generating a massive and unmanageable ...
متن کاملSemi-shared storage subsystem for OpenNebula
To address the limitations of OpenNebula storage subsystems, we have designed and developed an extension that is capable of achieving higher I/O throughput than the prior subsystems. The semi-shared storage subsystem uses central and distributed resources at the same time. Virtual machine instances with high availability requirements can run directly from central storage while other virtual mac...
