Abstract:Within high performance backup/restore environment there are cases that require the retrieval of massive data with huge size from tape storage to disks. The data retrieval time affects the system utilization or the system recovering speed. Some schemes were/will be proposed to place data across tape drives for minimized data retrieval latency. SimTape, a java-based tape library simulator, is built to compare above mentioned allocation schemes which minimize data seek time and tape switch time respectively. Thi… Show more
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.
