Embodiment Construction

[0020] 1: Implementation based on device mapper mechanism

[0021] figure 1 It is the overall structure diagram of the caching mechanism.

[0022] Target type is a modular plugin interface that allows customization. The mechanism of SCS (SSD cache SSD) is to use this interface to define a new target type, define the cache area and data area as two new target devices, design the mapping rules of the cache, and logically combine them into a new block equipment. Therefore, through the mapping table, the data from the upper layer can be sent to different devices according to the rules, thereby realizing data redirection. The specific steps are:

[0023] 1. The write request of the upper layer is firstly detected by the I / O sequence, and the random I / O is cached in the RAMbuffer of the small block in the memory;

[0024] 2. After the RAM buffer is full, write them sequentially into the SSD buffer in the form of a sequential log;

[0025] 3. When the buffer is idle or when the...

Abstract

The invention relates to a nonvolatile cache mechanism facing SSD. The method comprises following steps: a SSD is divided into a large buffer area; small random write requests are first written in small RAM buffer; after the RAM buffer is full, those write requests are written together in the form of log into a buffer area sequentially; then data in the buffer area is written back to a data area by a backstage; in this way, the random write-in performance of SSD is effectively increased; the cache mechanism can also optimize read interference problems; the cache mechanism comprises: sequential and large I / O are filtered by an I / O detection algorithm; cache write can also be sequentially written in a data area by a garbage recovery strategy facing data area, at the same time, remaining data in the buffer area can also be written again in the cache sequentially; a read cache strategy is provided for solving the problem of SSD read interference; A SSD cache SSD system of a log structure based on device mapper is fulfilled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention is suitable for the technical field of SSD non-volatile cache, provides a new SSD-oriented non-volatile cache mechanism, improves the random write performance of SSD, and effectively alleviates the read interference problem of SSD. Background technique [0002] As an important part of the computer system, the storage system has always been an important factor affecting the overall performance of the computer system. Since the beginning of the 21st century, with the rapid development of information technology, especially the development and wide application of Internet technology, social production and people's life have generated more and more data and are increasingly dependent on data. The data age has arrived. Big data brings new challenges to the storage field. [0003] As the amount of application data continues to increase, users have higher and higher requirements for storage system capacity. According to IDC estimates, the glob...
