Traces

A collection of block-level IO traces, application-level traces, and smartphone traces are available for download. These traces have been used on multiple publications of our research work. They were collected from different servers at FIU School of Computing and Information Sciences (SCIS) and Android smartphones at ASU School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering (CIDSE).
