Exploiting SSD parallelism to accelerate application launch on SSDs

Abstract

Using an optimised application prefetcher to accelerate the application launch on solid-state drives (SSDs) by exploiting the SSD parallelism is proposed. The proposed prefetcher was implemented on the Linux OS and achieved a 37 reduction of prefetcher execution time, which corresponds to an 18 reduction of application launch time. © 2011 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.
