Abstract
In this paper, we propose a sequentiality-aware identification scheme for performance-critical data, called FvRS, which boots the accuracy of I/O cost evaluation by exploiting data's access sequentiality. The key idea is to evaluate data's I/O cost based on both request size and access sequentiality. By properly identifying high-cost hot data, FvRS maximizes the utilization of SSD to improve system performance. In addition, FvRS maintains performance-critical data in a real-time table to reduce the identification overhead. We have implemented FvRS in a hybrid storage system in Linux. Extensive evaluations using three real-workload traces and a famous benchmark Postmark demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of FvRS. Compared with the state-of-the-art schemes, such as hotness-based identification and cost-based identification, FvRS reduces I/O response time by 10.3%∼45.6% and 16.3%∼25.1%, respectively.
