  Using MEMS-based storage in computer systems--MEMS storage architectures
Hong B., Wang F., Brandt S., Long D., Schwarz T. ACM Transactions on Storage 2(1): 1-21, 2006.  Type: Article

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based storage, when used as a MEMS storage enclosure with spares, provides high reliability, high performance, high storage density, low power consumption, and small form factor. These characterist...

  Improving storage system availability with D-GRAID
Sivathanu M., Prabhakaran V., Arpaci-Dusseau A., Arpaci-Dusseau R. ACM Transactions on Storage 1(2): 133-170, 2005.  Type: Article

The authors of this paper have significant experience with designing “semantically smart” storage systems. These systems make educated guesses as to how higher-level applications (like file systems and databases) wo...

   Disk scheduling in a multimedia I/O system
Reddy A., Wyllie J., Wijayaratne K. ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications, and Applications 1(1): 37-59, 2005.  Type: Article

The progress made over a ten-year period on scheduling policies for multimedia systems is summarized in this paper, which also analyzes in detail a scheduling algorithm called SCAN-EDF, which the authors first developed in 1993. The or...

  A cost effective fault-tolerant scheme for RAIDs
Fang L., Lu X. Journal of Computer Science and Technology 18(2): 230-234, 2003.  Type: Article

Disk arrays have become a commodity for enterprise, and even personal, storage systems. In the enterprise realm, reliability is a major concern. Traditionally, when using storage schemes involving redundant arrays of independent disks ...

  The design and implementation of a log-structured file system
Rosenblum M., Ousterhout J. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 10(1): 26-52, 1992.  Type: Article

This well-written paper is of particular interest at this time since it deals with a much-improved disk storage management system for UNIX-based systems. The system described shows an order of magnitude increase in performance over tra...

  Improving Disk Cache Hit-Ratios Through Cache Partitioning
Thiébaut D., Stone H., Wolf J. IEEE Transactions on Computers 41(6): 665-676, 1992.  Type: Article

A high-performance adaptive algorithm for managing fully associative cache memories shared by several identifiable processes is presented. The algorithm is implementation-independent and can be applied to any buffering system managed b...

  Disk arm movement in anticipation of future requests
King R. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 8(3): 214-229, 2000.  Type: Article

The author introduces and then analyzes an idea that is so blindingly obvious that one has to wonder why disk manufacturers have not been using it. The basic idea is that if the disk is idle, the disk arm should be returned to a centra...

  Optimal placement of high-probability randomly retrieved blocks on CLV optical discs
Ford D., Christodoulakis S. ACM Transactions on Information Systems 9(1): 1-30, 1991.  Type: Article

Nonlinear seek time and a nonlinear rotational delay are common in optical disk technology. This paper deals with the optimal placement of data on disks that have these characteristics. It begins with a comprehensive and understandable...

  An introduction to direct access storage devices
Sierra H., Academic Press Prof., Inc., San Diego, CA, 1990.  Type: Book (9780126425802)

Overall, this slim volume achieves its aim: to give an introduction to disk technology to computer scientists, so they can understand the limitations inherent in disks and how these may be overcome, and to engineers who would like a se...

  A Checkpointing Page Store for Write-Once Optical Disk
Gait J. IEEE Transactions on Computers 39(1): 2-9, 1990.  Type: Article

Many computing systems, such as long-running calculations and database systems, require the ability to restart the system in the case of a crash without repeating all of the calculations that have been done to date. The standard soluti...
