Energy-Aware Storage

چکیده
Energy is swiftly becoming a gating issue in large scale storage systems, from high-performance computing (HPC) to data intensive applications. For example, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) [3] is a large radio telescope array expected to be finished by 2024. Its dishes will produce about one exabyte (EB) of raw image data per day. However, the power envelope goal for the storage systems of future exascale supercomputers has been set at ≈ 2 megawatts (MW) [2]. Based on this projection, we can predict that, by 2020, under the energy cap, a supercomputer will at most be able to provide 2 to 3 EB storage for the scratch space, which is far from enough for most of the planned applications. Thus, new technologies must be developed to reduce the energy consumption of future storage systems. The amount of power a large-scale computer is allowed to use is not the only concern, however. Computation has become relatively cheap, and new trends [1] suggest that data movement will be a major proportion of the power dissipation in future systems.

Electric energy consumed in data centers is rapidly growing. Power-aware IT, recently called ‘green IT’, is widely recognized as a significant challenge. Disk storage is a non-negligible energy consumer. Rather, in light of recent data-intensive systems where a number of disk drives are incorporated, the disk storage may be what we must consider primarily. Yet, all of the disk drives are not us...

Storage accounts for a significant amount of a data center’s ever increasing power budget. As a consequence, energy consumption has joined performance and reliability as a dominant metric in storage system design. In this paper, we show that the structure of an erasure code— which is generally used to provide data reliability—can be exploited to save power in a storage system. We define a novel...

Increasingly, large-scale computing systems are consuming more power each passing year. As power consumption is on the rise, concern has been raised over the growing implications on power bills, carbon emissions, and power supply limitations for data centers. Computing systems use hardware components that are not power proportional and machines comprising large systems tend to be underutilized,...
