Improving the access time performance of serpentine tape drives
1999
Proceedings 15th International Conference on Data Engineering (Cat. No.99CB36337)
This paper presents a general model for estimating access times of serpentine tape drives. The model is used to schedule I/O requests in order to minimize the total access time. ...
We propose a new scheduling algorithm, Multi-Pass Scan Star (MPScan*), which makes good utilization of the streaming capability of the tape drive and avoids the pitfalls of naive multi-pass scan algorithms ...
Characteristics of serpentine tapes Figure 1 shows a principal sketch of a serpentine tape. ...

STUDY FOR POSSIBLE STORAGE SOLUTIONS FOR KLOE
1996
Computing in High Energy Physics '95
In this paper we discuss the characteristics of actual tape drive systems and robotic libraries that could be of interest for KLOE (DLT, IBM 359o, STK Redwood, AMPEX DST 310) and results of test are shown ...
in collaboration with the KLOE DAQ and Off-Line Analysis Groups The requirements of KLOE represent a challenge in this field, since we have to deal with data rates (about 1011 events/year) considerably ...
We performed a market research to see which of the commercial tape technologies is better suited for KLOE in terms of performance and price. ...

Scheduling and data replication to improve tape jukebox performance
1999
Proceedings 15th International Conference on Data Engineering (Cat. No.99CB36337)
This paper shows how the performance of tape jukeboxes can be improved across a broad parameter space via a new scheduling algorithm and schemes for the placement and replication of hot data. ...
As a result, the proposed replication techniques can be used to fill existing spare capacity in a tape jukebox, thus improving the performance of the jukebox "for free". ...
The authors of [8] propose and evaluate schemes for scheduling random I/Os on a single serpentine tape. ...

The Linear Tape File System
2010
2010 IEEE 26th Symposium on Mass Storage Systems and Technologies (MSST)
The Linear Tape File System (LTFS) makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable, and intuitive as using other removable and sharable media, such as a USB drive. ...
While there are many financial and practical reasons to prefer tape storage over disk for various applications, the difficultly of using tape in a general way is a major inhibitor to its wider usage. ...
The performance characteristics of a tape are predictable, but they do not necessarily reflect those of a file system running on the tape. ...

2015 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Architecture and Storage (NAS)
We observe the effectiveness of delayed writes on decreased file fragmentation and the reduction of partition switches with the use of buffering and of redundant file copies. ...
Nowadays, after the introduction of the LTO 5 standard, tapes support logical partitioning and, with the arrival of the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), their contents are exposed through the file system ...
