华 中 科 技 大 学 硕 士 学 位 论 文 II II Abstract With the development of Internet and the technology of computer storage, people have the increasingly high demand for information storage systems, such as High-speed I/O performance, low power consumption, strong fault-tolerance and the ability to recover data. At present, the existing disk-based storage systems can not meet the above requirements, therefore we repose our hopes on the emerging new type of storage media, such as flash, phase change memory. The emergence of a new medium enhances the performance on some attributes of the storage system, but because each of the medias characteristics or limitations of the manufacturing process, the introduction of new media will bring the system some of the other constraints. Considering the characteristics of traditional disk, flash memory and phase change memory on performance, capacity, reliability, energy consumption and cost, we designed a file system called TrinityFS for a PCRAM-Flash-HDD hybrid medium. Firstly the PCRAM has the I/O performance close to memory, byte- level read and write granularity. But due to the limitations of current technology and production process, this medium has tiny capacity and is expensive. So we put the metadata which is most frequently read, written and updated but accounted for a very small capacity on the PCRAM, then accessing metadata can reach the speed of RAM level. Secondly, due to the large capacity of the hard disk which has a good sequential write performance, and compared to the flash memory the hard disk has a longer life, we try to redirect write operations to the disk in a log way to reduce the update and erase operations on flash. Thirdly, flash memory has the advantages of high-performance, low power consumption, high reliability and seismic, and compared to the the hard disk, flash memory has a better read performance, so we regularly scan the data on disk to find the hot read data and then migrate them to the flash in orde
