....followed by conclusions and proposed future work. 2 Related Work File system research to date has mainly concentrated on improving performance when the only source of nonvolatile storage was the disk. This was done on two levels. On disk level, Iyer et al. proposed anticipatory disk scheduling [6] in an e#ort to increase disk I O performance. Berkeley Fast File System (FFS) 9] increases the block size to increase throughput and introduces cylinder groups for better locality. Ganger [4] tries to improve on metadata operations by so called soft updates basing on delayed writes on most file ....

....disk drives are frequently the most critical I O components, since disk performance is limited by mechanical delays. In order to reduce disk I O overheads, several techniques and optimizations have been proposed. This literature includes work on optimizing the scheduling of disk requests [33, 3, 17, 15], disk arrays [10, 4, 34] and optimizing disk writes using logs [23, 13, 32] Despite these techniques and optimizations, low disk throughput is still a serious problem for data intensive servers, such as Web proxies, email and news servers, multimedia servers, and database servers. An important ....

....with several blocks. 3 Related Work There have been several works on improving disk I O performance. Most of them discuss techniques that are external to the disk drive. Typical examples are techniques for improving the prefetching and caching of disk blocks [21, 6, 27] scheduling requests [3, 15], and for optimizing disk writes [13, 23, 32] Our techniques deal with read ahead (a form of prefetching) and caching of disk data, but their focus is on the disk controller cache. There are several important differences between the controller cache and other caches, such as the buffer cache, the ....

....1987 to re ect a workload of ve software developers, with approximately les totalling 200 kilobytes, this benchmark environment does not re ect current reality. Consequently, a few researchers have used modi ed versions of the benchmark with parameters scaled to the current state of technology [60, 14, 28, 68]. Despite modi cations, the Andrew benchmark has other limitations. It does not truly stress the I O subsystem since less than 25 of the time is spent performing I O [15] The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) System File Server (SFS) 97 R1 V3.0 benchmark [74] is popular among ....

....adjacent in the queue, but can be made adjacent through request reordering. This is especially useful for synchronous I O workloads where the sequential requests of one process interlace with those of other processes. Using anticipatory scheduling to overcome deceptive idleness in synchronous I O [11], a larger number of sequential requests from each process can be reordered together and merged together, reducing both seek and access times and boosting I O performance and energy efficiency. In fact, even the logical sequentiality requirement can be loosened. A very aggressive policy is to ....

....there is no available NFS request, our current implementation is work conserving and schedules a competing request, rather than allow the server to be idle. We are currently implementing a non work conserving policy in which the idle server waits some period of time before scheduling a competitor [17]; such a policy might pay a slight penalty in average response time for improved allocation control. 7.3 Concurrency Architecture Adaptation We now show the benefits of automatically adapting the concurrency architecture to the platform and workload. We run two simple experiments, with the ....
