Garbage Collection (GC) is an important performance concern for flash-based SSDs,
because it tends to disrupt the normal operations of an SSD. This problem continues to …

NAND flash-based storage is widely used in embedded systems due to its numerous
benefits: low cost, high density, small form factor and so on. However, NAND flash-based …

A longstanding goal of SSD virtualization has been to provide performance isolation
between multiple tenants sharing the device. Virtualizing SSDs, however, has traditionally …

Managing data and computation is at the heart of datacenter computing. Manual
management of data can lead to data loss, wasteful consumption of storage, and laborious …

Fast storage devices are an emerging solution to satisfy data-intensive applications. They
provide high transaction rates for DBMS, low response times for Web servers, instant on …

In this paper, we propose ScaleStore, a novel distributed storage engine that exploits DRAM
caching, NVMe storage, and RDMA networking to achieve high performance, cost-efficiency …

Modern solid-state drives (SSDs) use new host-interface protocols, such as NVMe, to
provide applications with fast access to storage. These new protocols make use of a concept …

Serverless computing has gained attention due to its fine-grained provisioning, large-scale
multi-tenancy, and on-demand scaling. However, it also forces applications to externalize …

OS-level virtualization is often used for server consolidation in data centers because of its
high efficiency. However, the sharing of storage stack services among the colocated …

The physical memory capacity of servers is expected to increase drastically with deployment
of the forthcoming non-volatile memory technologies. This is a welcomed improvement for …
