SMaRT: An Approach to Shingled Magnetic Recording Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) is a new technique for increasing areal data density in hard drives. Drivemanaged SMR (DM-SMR) drives employ a shingled translation layer to mask internal data management and support block interface to the host software. Two major challenges of designing an efficient shingled translation layer for DM-SMR drives are metadata overhead and garbage collection overhead. In this paper we introduce SMaRT, an approach to Shingled Magnetic Recording Translation which adapts its data management scheme as the drive utilization changes. SMaRT uses a hybrid update strategy which performs in-place update for the qualified tracks and outof-place updates for the unqualified tracks. Background Garbage Collection (GC) operations and on-demand GC operations are used when the free space becomes too fragmented. SMaRT also has a specially crafted space allocation and track migration scheme that supports automatic cold data progression to minimize GC overhead in the long term. We implement SMaRT and compare it with a regular Hard Disk Drive (HDD) and a simulated Seagate DM-SMR drive. The experiments with several block I/O traces demonstrate that SMaRT performs better than the Seagate drive and even provides comparable performance as regular HDDs when drive space usage is below a certain threshold.

Virtual Guard: A Track-Based Translation Layer for Shingled Disks
Virtual Guard (Vguard) is a track-based static mapping translation layer for shingled magnetic recording (SMR) drives. Data is written in-place by caching data from the next track in the shingling direction, allowing direct overwrite of sectors in the target track. This enables Vguard to take advantage of track-level locality, nearly eliminating cleaning for many workloads. We compare performan...

Computing multiple weighted reordering hypotheses for a statistical machine translation phrase-based systems
Reordering is one source of error in statistical machine translation (SMT). This paper extends the study of the statistical machine reordering (SMR) approach, which uses the powerful techniques of the SMT systems to solve reordering problems. Here, the novelties yield in: (1) using the SMR approach in a SMT phrase-based system, (2) adding a feature function in the SMR step, and (3) analyzing th...
