Devices in IoE (Internet of Everything) environment generate massive data from various sensors. To store and process the rapidly incoming large-scale data, SSDs are used for improving performance and reliability of storage systems. However, they have typical problem called write amplification which is caused by out-of-place updates characteristics. As the write amplification increases, it degrades I/O performance and shortens SSDs' lifetime. This paper presents a new approach to reduce write amplification of SSD arrays. To solve the problem, this paper proposes a new parity update scheme, called LPUS. LPUS transforms random parity updates to sequential writes with additional log blocks in SSD arrays by using parity logs and lazy parity updates. The experimental results show that, LPUS reduces write amplification up to 37% and the number of erases up to 50% with the reasonable size of log space.
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.
