Dynamic load distribution for performance and energy in mobile storage systems
Young‐Jin Kim, Jihong Kim · 2009
In this paper we propose a dynamic load distribution technique at the operating system level in mobile storage systems with a heterogeneous storage pair of a small form-factor hard disk and a flash memory, which aims at saving energy consumption as well as enhancing I/O performance. We demonstrate that the proposed technique provides better experimental results with heterogeneous mobile storage devices compared with the existing techniques through extensive simulations.
