RAID Organizations for Improved Reliability and Performance: A Not Entirely Unbiased Tutorial (1st revision)
Alexander Thomasian
RAID proposal advocated replacing large disks with arrays of PC disks, but as the capacity of small disks increased 100-fold in 1990s the production of large disks was discontinued…
Dimensionality Reduced Clustered Data and Order Partition and Stepwise Dimensionality Increasing Indices
Alexander Thomasian
One of the goals of NASA funded project at IBM T. J. Watson Research Center was to build an index for similarity searching satellite images, which were characterized by high-dimens…
Unbalanced Job Approximation using Taylor Series Expansion and Review of Performance Bounds
Alexander Thomasian
Unbalanced Job Approximation - UJA is a family of low-cost formulas to obtain the throughput of Queueing Networks - QNs with fixed rate servers using Taylor series expansion of job…
RAID Organizations for Improved Reliability and Performance: A Not Entirely Unbiased Tutorial
Alexander Thomasian
This is a followup to the 1994 tutorial by Berkeley RAID researchers whose 1988 RAID paper foresaw a revolutionary change in storage industry based on advances in magnetic disk tec…
Optimizing Apportionment of Redundancies in Hierarchical RAID
Alexander Thomasian
Large disk arrays are organized into storage nodes -- SNs or bricks with their own cashed RAID controller for multiple disks. Erasure coding at SN level is attained via parity or R…
Mirrored and Hybrid Disk Arrays: Organization, Scheduling, Reliability, and Performance
Alexander Thomasian
Basic mirroring (BM) classified as RAID level 1 replicates data on two disks, thus doubling disk access bandwidth for read requests. RAID1/0 is an array of BM pairs with balanced l…
Data Allocation in a Heterogeneous Disk Array - HDA with Multiple RAID Levels for Database Applications
Alexander Thomasian, Jun Xu
We consider the allocation of Virtual Arrays (VAs) in a Heterogeneous Disk Array (HDA). Each VA holds groups of related objects and datasets such as files, relational tables, which…
