Analytical Modeling of Block Layer Extensions

Goals

  1. Extensively study BORG and how it behaves with
    • Different placement algorithms
    • Online versus offline reconfigurations
  2. Evaluate BORG performance on large-scale commodity system.

Types of models

  1. Workload Model
    • R/W Ratio
    • % Sequentiality
    • Disk Access Patterns
    • Partial Determinism
  2. Storage System Model
    • Single disk R/W access times
    • R/W accesses in disk arrays: Including overheads due to parallel I/Os, RMW/mirroring, etc
  3. BORG Model
    • Amount of data transferred: Depends on the size of the OPT and workload
    • BOPT hits
