Title
Storage Access Support for Soft Real-Time Applications
Abstract
Most research on QoS-aware storage has focused on theuse of QoS-aware disk schedulers. However, the increasingintelligence and autonomy of modern disk drives havemade fine-grained external disk scheduling difficult. As thistrend continues, providing QoS-aware storage through externaldisk schedulers may become infeasible in the future.In this paper, we present a coarse-grained approach to storagebandwidth management that does not rely on externaldisk schedulers. The goal is to provide better storage accesssupport for storage-bound soft real-time applications.Our approach gives priority to disk requests generated bysoft real-time applications by controlling the rate that best-effortdisk requests may be dispatched.
