Focusing on Data Storage Systems
BUD: A Buffer-Disk Architecture for Energy-Efficient Parallel Disks
data storage system
The goal of this research is to develop energy conservation techniques that provide
significant energy savings while achieving low-cost and high-performance for parallel
storage systems.

MINT: Mathematical Reliability Models for Energy-Efficient Parallel Disk Systems
Mint Model
We address the mathematical underpinnings of modeling reliability of energy-efficient
parallel disk systems, where fault tolerance and energy-saving techniques are seamlessly
integrated together to conserve energy without sacrificing reliability in parallel disk
systems.

Multicore-Based Parallel Disk Systems for Large-Scale Data-Intensive Computing
data storage system
We investigate active storage systems which data and I/O processing are offloaded to
multicore processors embedded in storage nodes. We bridge the technology gap between
multicore computing and parallel storage systems by addressing fundamental issues of
multicore computing, data processing and performance analysis for data-intensive computing
systems.

Data-Mining-Based Multilayer Prefetching for Hybrid Storage Systems
BUD system
We develop data-mining-based multilayer prefetching techniques to improve the performance
of data centers with hybrid storage systems. The technology results in data being loaded
from disks to main memory before it is accessed from the disks, thus improving performance
and reliability of hybrid storage systems with solid state disks (SSDs), hard disks (HDDs)
and tapes.

A Brief Biography
Xiao Qin is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software
Engineering at Auburn University. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer
Science from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, in 1996 and 1999,
respectively. He received the Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Nebraska-
Lincoln in 2004. Prior to joining Auburn University in 2007, he had been an assistant
professor with New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) for three
years. He won an NSF CAREER award in 2009. His research interests include parallel and
distributed systems, real-time computing, storage systems, fault tolerance, and
performance evaluation. His research is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation,
Auburn University, and Intel Corporation. He had served as a subject area editor of IEEE
Distributed System Online (2000-2001). He has been on the program committees of various
international conferences, including IEEE Cluster, IEEE IPCCC, and ICPP.
