In this paper, we measure the performance of RAID-II and evaluate various architectural decisions made during the design process. We first measure the end-to-end performance of the system to be approximately 20 MB/s for both disk array reads and writes. We then perform a bottleneck analysis by examining the performance of each individual subsystem and conclude that the disk subsystem limits performance. By adding a custom interconnect board with a high-speed memory and bus system and parity engine, we are able to achieve a performance speedup of 8 to 15 over a comparative system using only off-the-shelf hardware.”, Da = “1994/07/01”, Doi = “10.1007/BF01266330”, Isbn = “1573-7578”, Journal = “Distributed and Parallel Databases”, Number = “3”, Pages = “243–260”, Title = “Performance and design evaluation of the RAID-II storage server”, Ty = “JOUR”, Url = “https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01266330”, Volume = “2”, Year = “1994”, Month = “October”, category = “[File Systems]”, Bdsk-Url-1 = “https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01266330” }
