چکیده

Redundant arrays of independent disks (RAID) provide an ecient stable storage system for parallel access and fault tolerance. The most common fault tolerant RAID architecture is RAID-1 or RAID-5. The disadvantage of RAID-1 lies in excessive redundancy, while the write performance of RAID-5 is only 1/4 of that of RAID-0. In this paper, we propose a high performance and highly reliable disk array architecture, called stripped mirroring disk array (SMDA). It is a new solution to the small-write problem for disk array. SMDA stores the original data in two ways, one on a single disk and the other on a plurality of disks in RAID-0 by stripping. The reliability of the system is as good as RAID-1, but with a high throughput approaching that of RAID-0. Because SMDA omits the parity generation procedure when writing new data, it avoids the write performance loss often experienced in RAID-5. Ó 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

RAID-RMS: A fault tolerant stripped mirroring RAID architecture for distributed systems

Disk arrays, or RAIDs, have become the solution to increase the capacity, bandwidth and reliability of most storage systems. In spite of its high redundancy level, disk mirroring is a popular RAID paradigm, because replicating data also doubles the bandwidth available for processing read requests, improves the reliability and achieves fault tolerance. In this paper, we present a new RAID archit...

Orthogonal Striping and Mirroring in Distributed RAID for I/O-Centric Cluster Computing

-This paper presents a new distributed disk-array architecture for achieving high I/O performance in scalable cluster computing. In a serverless cluster of computers, all distributed local disks can be integrated as a distributed-software redundant array of independent disks (ds-RAID) with a single I/O space. We report the new RAID-x design and its benchmark performance results. The advantage o...

Distributed Software RAID Architectures for Parallel I/O in Serverless Clusters*

In a serverless cluster of computers, all local disks can be integrated as a distributed software RAID (ds-RAID) with a single I/O space. This paper presents the architecture and performance of a new RAID-x for building ds-RAID. Through experimentation, we evaluate the RAID-x along with RAID-5, chained-declustering, and RAID-10 architectures, all embedded in a Linux cluster environment. All fou...

Reliable Cluster Computing with a New Checkpointing RAID-x Architecture

In a serverless cluster of PCs or workstations, the cluster must allow remote file accesses or parallel I/O directly performed over disks distributed to all client nodes. We introduce a new distributed disk array, called the RAID-x, for use in serverless clusters. The RAID-x architecture is based on an orthogonal striping and mirroring (OSM) scheme, which exploits full-bandwidth and protects th...
