    摘要: A system and method for creating an accurate black-box model of a live storage system and for predicting performance of the storage system under a given workload is disclosed. An analytics engine determines a subset of counters that are relevant to performance of the storage system with respect to a particular output (e.g., throughput or latency) from performance data in counters of the storage system. Using the subset of counters, the analytics engine creates a workload signature for the storage system by using a recursive partitioning technique, such as a classification and regression tree. The analytics engine then creates the black-box model of the storage system performance by applying uncertainty measurement techniques, such as a Gaussian process, to the workload signature.

    摘要: Described herein is a system and method for dynamically managing service-level objectives (SLOs) for workloads of a cluster storage system. Proposed states/solutions of the cluster may be produced and evaluated to select one that achieves the SLOs for each workload. A planner engine may produce a state tree comprising nodes, each node representing a proposed state/solution. New nodes may be added to the state tree based on new solution types that are permitted, or nodes may be removed based on a received time constraint for executing a proposed solution or a client certification of a solution. The planner engine may call an evaluation engine to evaluate proposed states, the evaluation engine using an evaluation function that considers SLO, cost, and optimization goal characteristics to produce a single evaluation value for each proposed state. The planner engine may call a modeler engine that is trained using machine learning techniques.

    摘要: Described herein is a flash remapping (FR) layer in a storage operating system for utilizing flash memory as a secondary permanent storage device in a storage system. The FR layer collects particular information (specified by collection parameters) of received access requests for data stored on primary storage devices of the storage system. Based on the collected information and a predetermined access pattern (specified by pattern parameters), the FR layer selects data sets on the primary storage devices to be transferred permanently to flash memory, whereby subsequent access requests to the selected data sets are redirected to flash memory. New parameters may be received by the FR layer (from a user or program) to dynamically reconfigure the functions of the FR layer. The FR layer may be implemented in the operating system without requiring other code of the storage operating system to be modified.
