Compiler-Directed File Layout Optimization for Hierarchical Storage Systems
SESSION: Compiler-Based Analysis and Optimization
EVENT TYPE: Papers, Best Student Paper Finalists
TIME: 11:30AM - 12:00PM
SESSION CHAIR: Xipeng Shen
AUTHOR(S):Wei Ding, Yuanrui Zhang, Mahmut Kandemir, Seung Woo Son
ROOM:255-EF
ABSTRACT:
File layout of array data is a critical factor that effects the behavior of storage caches, and has so far taken not much attention in the context of hierarchical storage systems. The main contribution of this paper is a compiler-driven
file layout optimization scheme for hierarchical storage caches. This approach, fully automated within an optimizing compiler, analyzes a multi-threaded application code and determines a file layout for each disk-resident array referenced by the code, such that the performance of the target storage cache hierarchy is maximized. We
tested our approach using 16 I/O intensive application programs
and compared its performance against two previously proposed
approaches under different cache space management schemes.
Our experimental results show that the proposed approach improves the execution time of these parallel applications by
23.7% on average.
