Ssd-Based Energy-Efficient Cloud Storage
Fiu Undergraduate Capstone Project
Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area
Lead a group of five students studying solid-state drive (SSD) based energy-efficient cloud storage as our senior capstone project. We explored the benefits of using SSDs as cache layer between a storage client and a remote HDD-based storage server. Our work consisted of implementing a spin-down daemon to exploit idle disk periods, using client-side storage caching, and exploring new cache eviction policies in order to save energy in a distributed storage system commonly used in cloud computing.
