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.
