METHOD FOR MANAGING VARIABLE CHUNK SIZE AND COMPUTING SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

Provided are a variable chunk size (CS) management method and a computing system applying the same. The variable CS management method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: determining the storage performance; and setting the CS based on the storage performance measured in the prior step. The variable CS management method enhances the input/output performance of the storage, thereby boosting the processing speed of a computing system.
