—One of the biggest bottlenecks in desktop-based computing is the hard disk with I/O write latency being a key contributor. I/O write latency stems from the mechanical nature of ...
—Flash-based Solid-State Drives (SSDs) have become a promising alternative to magnetic Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) thanks to the large improvements in performance, power consumption,...
Dynamic power management aims at extending battery life by switching devices to lower-power modes when there is a reduced demand for service. Static power management strategies can...
Access latency to secondary storage devices is frequently a limiting factor in computer system performance. New storage technologies promise to provide greater storage densities a...
