This paper is motivated by a global online satellite images distribution system operated at the Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) center of the U.S Geological Survey. Fundamental objectives of EROS include, but are not limited to, building high-speed and cost-effective massive data processing and storage systems to support online satellite images distribution. Hybrid storage systems -containing solid-state drives (SSD), hard disks (HDD), and tapes -can provide an ideal data storage solution for a wide variety of data processing centers like EROS. Large-scale hybrid storage systems will become increasingly popular in the next few years for the following two reasons. First, highly accessed storage objects in a hybrid storage system can be prefetched and cached to high-speed storage components such as solid-state drives. SSD-based hybrid storage system can provide large storage capacity, high I/O performance and data reliability. Second, hybrid storage systems are cost-effective, because inexpensive tapes help in increasing storage capacities at very low cost. Transferring data back and forth among SSDs, HDDs, and tapes plays a critical role in achieving high I/O performance. Thus, we proposed data mining algorithms that can judiciously prefetch data. Our analytical model and the experimental results reveals that our data mining prefetching algorithm increase the performance of the hybrid storage systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
