In this paper, we propose the acceleration method of the DDR-SSD RAID level 5. The DDR-SSD is the storage device of the Next Generation Storage(NGS) system. The DDR-SSD has different characteristics with HDD and Flash SSD. That's why the DDR-SSD RAID level 5 does not provide the best performance when the normal acceleration method is used. In this paper, to accelerate the DDR-SSD RAID level 5 operation, we propose the parity cache and the architecture of the parity cell. The parity cache stores only parity blocks. This acceleration method proposed in this paper reduce the number of the disk access and the overhead of parity operations.

In enterprise environments, hybrid storage typically utilizes SSDs over disk-based RAID. Typically, SSDs over RAID are used as the data cache. Recently, the LeavO caching scheme was introduced to reduce the parity update overhead of the underlying RAID. In this paper, we combine the data caching and LeavO caching schemes and derive cost models of the combined cache to determine the optimal data and LeavO cache sizes. We also propose the Adaptive Combined Cache that dynamically adjusts the data cache and LeavO cache sizes for evolving workloads. Experimental results show that the performance of the Adaptive Combined Cache is significantly superior to that of the conventional data caching scheme and is comparable with that of the off-line optimal scheme.

It is very important to recover data immediately at a single disk failure for critical applications such as multimedia storage systems. real-time systems and so on. As an efficient solution, this paper proposes that RAID level conversion scheme to improve the performance before a failed disk is replaced with a new disk. By using this scheme, it does not require an additional disk to recover data. Comparing with previous studies, this scheme is appropriate to low cost system that has not additional redundant device. The performance of proposed scheme is evaluated and analyzed with that of RAID level 5 for various requested sizes through the simulation. The results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is improved up to 20 percents compared with that of RAID level 5 at the failure mode and 80 percents at reconfigured mode.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of the parity cache enabled RAID level-5 via the simulation. This RAID system consists of the DDR memory-based storage devices. To do this, we develop the simulation model and suggest the basic performance analysis data which we want to get via the simulation. And we implement the simulator based on the simulation model and execute the simulator. From the result of the simulation, we expect that the parity cache enabled RAID level-5 configured by the DDR memory based storage devices has the positive effectiveness to the enhancing of the storage system performance if the storage access patterns of applications are tuned.

Recently, as the amount of digital data rapidly increases, a large storage space is required. RAID is a system that can manage large capacity storage space. Storage space provided by Windows is a type of software RAID. Storage space has been supported since Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, and no analysis has been done on the functionality. To analyze system using storage space, analysis of storage space function and reconstruction method of virtual disk should be studied. In this paper, we briefly describe the layout of existing RAID, explain the layout and metadata of storage space of software RAID, present reconstruction method of virtual disk by disk layout, and verify the result through experiments.

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.

In this paper, a RAID system is modeled and simulated by using the DEVS formalism. The RAID system interacts with a host system by using the high-speed Fibre channel protocol and stores data in an array of IDE disks. The DAVS formalism specifies discrete event systems in a hierarchical, modular manner. The RAID system model is composed of three units: primary-PCI unit, secondary-PCI unit and MCU unit. The primary-PCI unit interfaces with the host system and I/O data caches. The secondary-PCI unit includes disks. The MCU unit controls overall system. The control algorithm of MCU and PCI transactions are analyzed and modeled, From the analysis of simulation events, we can conclude that the proposed model satisfies given requirements.

RAID-5 technology is one of the choice for flash storage device to enhance its reliability. However, RAID-5 has inherent parity update overhead, especially, parity overhead for partial stripe write is one of the crucial issues for flash-based RAID-5 technologies. In this paper, we design efficient parity log architecture for RAID-5 to eliminate runtime partial parity overhead. During runtime, partial parity is retained in buffer memory until full stripe write completed, and the parity is written with full strip write. In addition, parity log is maintained in memory until whole the stripe group is used for data write. With this parity log, partial parity can be recovered from the power loss. In the experiments, the parity log method can eliminate partial parity writes overhead with a little parity log writes. Hence it can reduce write amplification at the same reliability.

본 논문에서는 SANtopiaVM의 데이터 가용성 및 성능을 고려한 에러 핸들링 정책을 제안한다. 제안하는 에러 핸들링 정책은 RAID1과 RAID5에 대한 정책으로 추분하며 에러 발생시의 복구를 위하여 RAID1에서는 FBB(Failed Block Bitmap)라는 비트맵을 추가하여 데이터의 일관성을 유지하고 디스크의 복구 시에는 저기 연산에 대한 부하 분산 및 복구 비용을 감소시키는 쓰기 연산을 제안함으로서 에러 핸들링 시에 입출력 비용을 줄인다. RAID5에서는 추가적인 여분 디스크를 사용한 Sparing Disk 기법을 제안함으로서 디스크 에러 모드에서도 정상 모드의 성능에 근접하는 입출력 성능을 보장하며 빠른 디스크 복구를 지원한다. 제안하는 에러 핸들링 정책은 SANtopiaVM RAID의 오류 발생시, 시스템 성능의 급격한 저하를 완화할 수 있으며 에러로부터 빠른 복구를 지원함으로서 데이터에 대한 효율적인 고 가용성의 특징을 제공한다.

HDD-based RAIDs have been used in high-capacity storage systems for traditional data server. However, their data reliability are relatively low and they consume lots of power since hard disk drive is weak on shock and its power consumption is high due to frequent spindle motor operation. Therefore, this paper presents new SSD based RAID system architecture using various erasure codes. The proposed methode applys Reed-Solomon, EVENODD, and Liberation coding schemes onto file system level and device driver level, respectively. Besides, it uses data allocation method to minimize the side effect of reducing the lifespan of SSD. Detail experimental results show that Liberation code increase wear-leveling rates of SSD based RAID-6 more than other codes. The SSD based RAID system applying erasure codes at the device driver level shows better performance than that at the file system level. I/O performance of RAID-6 system using SSD is 4.5%~8.5% higher than that of using HDD and the power consumption of the RAID system using SSD is 18%~40% less than that of using HDD.
