Abstract

When the number of disks array systems that contain multiple disk drives, system performance is limited by a bottleneck at a centralized controller at a communication path than uses a bus. A redundant array of inexpensive disks(RAID) consists of many disks to enable high performance and large capacity. We evaluate a scalable architecture called Autonomous network, in which the controller functions are distributed to all disk drives and each disk has autonomy in processing its tasks. Disks drives enable better scalability and more effective utilization of system resources than with a hierarchical system. Autonomous network provided high read/write performance throughput in proportion to the number of disks.

다중 디스크 드라이브가 포함된 디스크 배열 시스템에서 디스크의 수가 증가 될 때 시스템 성능은 컨트롤러의 집중화 또는 버스로 사용되는 전송 경로의 병목현상에 의해 제한되어진다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 고성능 대용량의 RAID가 등장하였으며 RAID 시스템에서 컨트롤러 기능은 모든 디스크 드라이브에 분산되고 각 디스크는 그들의 임무를 수행하는 자율성을 가진 자율적 네트웍이 일반적 계층 시스템 보다 확장성이 좋고 시스템 자원을 보다 효율적으로 이용할 수 있어 디스크 수의 증가율에 따라 높은 읽기/쓰기 처리율의 성능을 제공한다.
