The energy consumption of data centers accounts for approximately 1% of that of the world,
the average power usage effectiveness is in the range of 1.4–1.6, and the associated carbon …

Considering the nature and complexity of electrical/electronic product materials, their energy
consumption, and the e-waste they create, sustainability should be included in their design …

This paper presents an initiative data prefetching scheme on the storage servers in
distributed file systems for cloud computing. In this prefetching technique, the client …

Distributed file systems have been widely deployed as back-end storage systems to offer I/O
services for parallel/distributed applications that process large amounts of data. Data …

Cloud computing becomes more sophisticated to provide different services at different levels
of user access. Even though various services are accessed at a different level, the security of …

In this paper, we present an informed prefetching technique called IPODS that makes use of
application-disclosed access patterns to prefetch hinted blocks in distributed multi-level …

This paper presents a proactive data prefetching mechanism on storage servers for
distributed file systems to achieve better input/output (I/O) performance. This mechanism …

Parallel hybrid storage systems consist of a hierarchy of different storage devices that vary in
terms of data reading speed performance. As we ascend in the hierarchy, data reading …

In this paper, we present a predictive prefetching mechanism that is based on probability
graph approach to perform prefetching between different levels in a parallel hybrid storage …

Thermal modeling and management techniques have been widely investigated in recent
years. Prior studies show thermal management could increase energy efficiency of data …
