A POWER AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT FRAMEWORK FOR SERVER- CLASS STORAGE
Mathew Oldham · 2005
Recently researchers have studied various approaches on how to reduce energy consumption of server-class disk storage devices. Although many studies have claimed success, details of their experimental setups are either little documented or not designed to measure power consumption or performance of their systems simultaneously. This thesis describes a new framework that produces accurate results using realistic workloads by measuring both the power and performance of the disks at the same time while maintaining the privacy of the users. We have used this framework to test the power and performance characteristics
