Abstract: Without power management, disks on portable computers consume 20-30% of the system's power. Previous papers showed that spinning down a 1 watt drive after 3-5 minutes of inactivity reduces the average power consumption to 0.5 watts with a slight performance penalty. We explored the addition of an infinite non-prefetch cache to filter disk traffic and showed it to be ineffective at reducing disk power consumption or improving performance. Modifying the cache to perform whole-file prefetching... (Update)

...36 of writes go to just one 1 Kbyte block and 24 of writes go to another. We used a dos trace collected by Kester Li at U.C. Berkeley [13], on IBM desktop PCs running Windows 3.1, also at file level. It includes deletions. The trace was similarly preprocessed. 10 Chapter 1 We...

...the cache size to beyond 16 MB still significantly improves power consumption, but not as much as fine grain spin down of the disk. Li 94] and [Marsh et al. 94] explore using flash memory as a second level cache between the DRAM cache and the disk. Both found that a 4 to 8...
