Access time-aware cache algorithm for SATA hard disks

A research paper on improving SATA hard disk performance with a cache algorithm that is aware of disk access time.

Project

SATA Hard Disk Cache Algorithm Research

The paper proposes a cache algorithm for SATA hard disks and validates it with a practical hard disk simulator. Real trace-driven simulations showed up to 35 percent improvement compared to LRU.

Talk role

Co-authored the paper during research work connected to Ajou University and storage-system performance modeling.
