Enhancing data availability in disk drives through background activities
Latent sector errors in disk drives affect only a few data sectors. They occur silently and are detected only when the affected area is accessed again. If a latent error is detect...

Using MEMS-Based Storage in Disk Arrays
Current disk arrays, the basic building blocks of highperformance storage systems, are built around two memory technologies: magnetic disk drives, and non-volatile DRAM caches. Di...

The garbage collection advantage: improving program locality
As improvements in processor speed continue to outpace improvements in cache and memory speed, poor locality increasingly degrades performance. Because copying garbage collectors ...

The RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project (REDCAP)
This paper presents the RAM Enhanced Disk Cache Project, REDCAP, a new cache of disk blocks which reduces the read I/O time by using a small portion of the main memory. The essent...

Software prefetching for mark-sweep garbage collection: hardware analysis and software redesign
Tracing garbage collectors traverse references from live program variables, transitively tracing out the closure of live objects. Memory accesses incurred during tracing are essen...
