HARD: Host-Level Address Remapping Driver for Solid-State Disk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent SSDs use parallel architectures with multi-channel and multiway, and manages multiple pages in a group, called superpage, to reduce the size of address mapping information. Such a coavrse grained mapping provides a poor performance for small sized random write requests. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a novel host-level device driver, called HARD, which merges several small sized random write requests into a long sequential write requests. Experimental results showed the proposed HARD improved the random write performance by up to eight times.

Molecular dynamics simulation of a binary mixture lubricant for use in hard disk interfaces
In Hard Disk Drives (HDD), it is necessary to decrease the Flying Height (FH) between the head and the disk (currently, FH is around 3-5 nm) so as to increase recording densities. Retaining the solid lubricant has become a difficult proposition owing to intermittent contact between the surfaces. ZTMD and Z are used as solid lubricant to lubricate these interfaces. In this paper, the behavior of...

We propose a new type of heterogeneous storage device called Combo Drive, which comprises of a smaller-capacity low-latency solid-state disk drive (SSD) concatenated with a larger-capacity high-throughput hard disk drive (HDD). The overall cost of a Combo Drive, similar to a Hybrid Drive, is still dominated by the more capacious HDD. With Combo Drive, the performance advantages of both the SSD ...

متن کاملLinux Software RAID Level 0 Technique for High Performance Computing by using PCI-Express based SSD
The Linux-based legacy server systems are configured and used with software RAID to improve the performance of the disk I/O. Server systems requiring high performance prefer a special SSD that connects directly with the PCI-express bus to the SATA interface. However, the problem is that the current Linux kernel and software RAID are difficult to optimize the high-performance SSD based on PCI-Ex...
