Opportunistic Log: Efficient Installation Reads in a Reliable Storage Server
In a distributed storage system, client caches managed on the basis of small granularity objects can provide better memory utilization then page-based caches. However, object serv...

STEP: Self-Tuning Energy-safe Predictors
Data access prediction has been proposed as a mechanism to overcome latency lag, and more recently as a means of conserving energy in mobile systems. We present a fully adaptive p...

FS2: dynamic data replication in free disk space for improving disk performance and energy consumption
Disk performance is increasingly limited by its head positioning latencies, i.e., seek time and rotational delay. To reduce the head positioning latencies, we propose a novel tech...

Reducing performance non-determinism via cache-aware page allocation strategies
Performance non-determinism in computer systems complicates evaluation, use, and even development of these systems. In performance evaluation via benchmarking and simulation, nond...
