Title
Design and Implementation of a Hybrid Shingled Write Disk System
Abstract
Disk data density improvement will eventually be limited by the super-paramagnetic effect for perpendicular recording. While various approaches to this problem have been proposed, Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) holds great promise to mitigate the problem of density scaling cost-effectively by overlapping data tracks. However, the inherent properties of SMR limit Shingled Write Disk (SWD) applicability since writing data to one track destroys the data previously-stored on the overlapping tracks. As a result, various data layout management designs have been proposed. In this paper, we present a hybrid wave-like shingled recording (HWSR) disk system, which can improve both the performance and the capacity of a shingled write disk. We propose a novel segment-based data layout management and a new wave-like shingled recording that overlaps adjacent tracks from two opposite radial directions. This new scheme can not only efficiently reduce the write amplification, but also double the areal density of conventional circular log-based shingled recording. A new replacement policy based on least write amplification is also devised to manage the hybrid system to effectively eliminate the performance degradation. Our measurements on HWSR implemented in Linux kernel 2.6.35.6 show that it provides superb performance. For example, HWSR reduces the average I/O response time by an order of magnitude compared to S-block for Financial1 trace, and provides up to 3.7 speedup over standard hard disks without using shingled magnetic recording technology
