Abstract

In this paper, we propose BLOCS algorithm to find sequence of data that should be saved in cache device of hybrid storage system which uses SSD as a cache device. BLOCS algorithm which uses a sequence pattern mining scheme, creates a set of frequently requested sectors with respect to requested order of sectors. To compare the performance of the proposed scheme, we introduce Distance (DIST) based scheme, Request Frequency (FREQ) based scheme, and Frequency times Size (F-S) based scheme. We measure the hit ratio and I/O latency of different caching schemes using hybrid storage caching simulator. We acquired booting workload along with ten scenarios of launching applications and use the workloads as input to the cache simulator. After experiment with booting workload, we find that BLOCS scheme gives hit ratio of 61% which is about 15% higher than the least performing DIST scheme.

본 논문은 SSD를 캐쉬로 사용하는 하이브리드 저장장치에서 캐쉬에 저장할 데이터를 찾기 위한 BLOCS 기법을 제안한다. 시퀀스 패턴 마이닝을 사용하는 BLOCS 기법은 파일시스템에서 호출하는 섹터들의 연관성을 발생한 순서를 고려하여 빈번히 요청되는 섹터들의 집합을 생성한다. 비교 분석을 위해 탐색거리(DIST) 기반 기법과 요청 빈도(FREQ) 기반 기법 그리고 빈도와 크기의 곱(F-S) 기반 기법을 제안하였다. 제안한 캐슁 기법을 평가하기 위해 하이브리드 캐슁 시뮬레이터를 개발하여 적중률과 응답시간 정보를 얻는다. 부팅 시 발생하는 I/O의 흐름자료와 10개의 응용프로그램들의 실행 시나리오에서 발생한 I/O 흐름자료를 수집하여 캐쉬 시뮬레이터의 입력으로 사용하였다. 실험 결과 부팅 흐름자료에서 제안한 BLOCS 기법이 61%의 적중률을 나타내서 적중률이 가장 낮았던 거리 우선 기반 기법에 비해 15% 더 높은 적중률을 보였다.
