| Abstract | Excessive power consumption is becoming a major barrier to extracting the maximum performance from high-performance parallel systems. Therefore, techniques oriented towards reducing power consumption of such systems are expected to become increasingly important in the future. Since disk systems of high-performance architectures are known to constitute a large fraction of the overall power budget, they form an important optimization target. Previous work on disk power management focuses primarily on hardware based schemes. However, since disk access pattern, i.e., the order in which disks on a system are accessed, is mainly shaped by the program code access pattern and disk layout of data, software techniques can also play a critical role in disk power management. Motivated by this observation, this paper proposes and evaluates a profile-driven disk layout optimization scheme for reducing energy consumption. The proposed scheme analyzes the array access traces obtained through profiling and determines, for each disk-resident data structure, the start disk from which the data is striped, the number of disks over which the data is striped, and the stripe unit. This paper discusses implementation details of our approach and presents an experimental evaluation of it. Our experiments with the entire suite of Spec95 floating-point benchmarks that are modified to operate on disk-resident data show that the proposed approach is very effective in reducing disk energy consumption. The results also show that the performance degradation caused by our approach is very small. This paper also compares our approach to a code restructuring based optimization mechanism and discusses how the two techniques can be combined for achieving the best results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
