Collaborative Research: CI-SUSTAIN: National File System Trace Repository

该项目将维持和增强一个国家跟踪库，该库捕获文件系统、存储和输入/输出的使用情况，目的是帮助研究人员解决性能瓶颈问题。作为正在进行的活动的一部分，将添加对成功使用跟踪至关重要的新工具。此外，还计划了新的镜像站点，以提高跟踪存储库的效率和实用性。文件系统跟踪的国家存储库对软件工程社区非常重要。通过更新新出现的应用程序的踪迹，该项目为这个社区提供了重要的服务。基于磁盘的文件系统是许多计算机应用程序的性能瓶颈。因此，为存储系统提供一组活动跟踪以了解访问特征是非常有用的。这种轨迹可能有助于优化基于闪存的固态存储和其他新兴的基于非易失性存储器的存储技术。随着网络存储、基于云的存储、地理复制存储等存储技术的发展，跟踪存储库为存储系统优化提供了一组目标。

This project will sustain and enhance a national repository of traces that capture usage of file-systems, storage and input/outputs with the goal of helping researchers to address performance bottlenecks. As part of ongoing activities, new tools essential to the successful use of traces will be added. Also, new mirror sites are planned to expand efficiency and utility of the trace repository. The national repository of file systems traces is of immense importance to the software engineering community. By updating the traces for the new and emerging applications, this project provides a vital service to this community.Disk based file system is a performance bottleneck for many computer applications. Thus, it is useful to have a set of activity traces for storage systems to understand the access characteristics. Such traces may potentially help optimize flash-based solid-state storage and other emerging non-volatile memory based storage technologies. As the storage technologies evolve with network storage, cloud-based storage, geo-replicated storage, the trace repository provides a set of targets for storage systems optimization.
