Abstract
Abstract: The emergence of Solid State Disk (SSD) technology, poses the challenge of building a credible equivalent to a GrayWulf system with a similar IO performance, but with considerably lower power consumption. Alternatively an SSD-based system can offer significantly higher performance, while maintaining the same cost and power consumption. The results from our preliminary investigation are very encouraging (e.g., 12-fold decrease in total read time at the same cost or 7-fold decrease in power consumption with the same sequential IO), warranting a rapid evaluation of these ideas.
