THE USE OF ROUGH CLASSIFICATION AND TWO THRESHOLD TWO DIVISORS FOR DEDUPLICATION

The data deduplication technique efficiently reduces and removes redundant data in big data storage systems. The main issue is that the data deduplication requires expensive computational effort to remove duplicate data due to the vast size of big data. The paper attempts to reduce the time and computation required for data deduplication stages. The chunking and hashing stage often requires a lot of calculations and time. This paper initially proposes an efficient new method to exploit the parallel processing of deduplication systems with the best performance. The proposed system is designed to use multicore computing efficiently. First, The proposed method removes redundant data by making a rough classification for the input into several classes using the histogram similarity and k-mean algorithm. Next, a new method for calculating the divisor list for each class was introduced to improve the chunking method and increase the data deduplication ratio. Finally, the performance of the proposed method was evaluated using three datasets as test examples. The proposed method proves that data deduplication based on classes and a multicore processor is much faster than a single-core processor. Moreover, the experimental results showed that the proposed method significantly improved the performance of Two Threshold Two Divisors (TTTD) and Basic Sliding Window BSW algorithms.
