Dean.
The drives will be used in a variety of research projects including HSM
efficiency, performance optimization of new write buffer cache algorithms
and the effects of Lazy Updates on DBMS throughput.
Dean was attending the DISC Intelligent Storage Workshop 2008 where solid state
storage was a topic of extensive discussion.

DISC Transfers V1 OSD Code to Members
The DTC Intelligent Storage Consortium (DISC) announced this week
that several of its current members have taken delivery of the first
release of the Object-based Storage Device (OSD) reference
implementation software that has been completed at DISC over several
years by Ph.D. students and supervising faculty.
DISC and its members have agreed to contribute the OSD software
project to the Open Source community later this year in order to
expand interest in and development of Object-based storage
technology.
Object-based storage concepts originated through DARPA funding in the
mid-1990’s. Interest in the concept has continued to grow among many
storage companies as exponential growth in installed disk storage
capacity has led to major challenges in data sharing, scalability,
security, performance and management.
The formal definition of the OSD Protocol (OSD-1 r10) for Project
T10/1355-D (v1) was ratified by ANSI in September 2004 and defines
what the DISC implementation is based upon.
DISC Faculty, Staff and Students
completed another successful international workshop on Intelligent
Storage May 9–10. Proceedings

11/9/05 DISC held its semi annual members meeting at
the DTC. Representatives from LSI Logic, StorageTek/Sun, and Symantec
were briefed on the status of DISC research projects and provided feedback
on DISC’s research directions. Presentations were made by Professor
David Du, DISC faculty lead, Cory Devor, Director of Business Development,
and DISC researchers Dingshan He, Yingping Lu, Pramod Mandagere, Sojeong
Hong, Vishal Kher, Prof. Gedas Adomavicius, and Jesse Bockstedt.
