As data-intensive, network-based applications proliferate, the power consumed by the data-
center storage subsystem surges. This survey summarizes, organizes, and integrates a …

Many real-world applications need to frequently access data stored on large-scale parallel
disk storage systems. On one hand, prompt responses to access requests are essential for …

Power consumption of disk based storage systems is becoming an increasingly pressing
issue for both commercial and scientific application domains. Prior work proposed several …

As disk drives become increasingly sophisticated and processing power increases, one of
the most critical issues of designing modern disk systems is data reliability. Although …

Up to one third of the electricity supplied to a data center is required for the operation of the
storage subsystem. A typical data-center workload, characterized by short idle periods …

Disk subsystem is known to be a major contributor to overall power consumption of high-end
parallel systems. Past research proposed several architectural-level techniques to reduce …

The advent of unprecedentedly scalable yet energy hungry Exascale supercomputers poses
a major challenge in sustaining a high performance-per-watt ratio. With I/O management …

Disk power consumption has become a prime concern for many servers used in data-
intensive computing. According to [10], storage already represents more than a third of a …

We study a new main memory-based approach to indexing continual range queries to
support location-aware mobile services. The query index is used to efficiently answer the …

The mathematical structure of cyberworlds is clarified based on the duality of homology
lifting property and homotopy extension property. The duality gives bottom-up and top-down …
