New trends in storage industry suggest that in the near future a majority of the hard disk
drive-based storage subsystems will be replaced by solid state drives (SSDs). Database …

The architecture and algorithms of database systems have been built around the properties
of existing hardware technologies. Many such elementary design assumptions are 20--30 …

Nowadays, flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) are gradually replacing hard disk drives
(HDDs) as the primary non-volatile storage in both desktop and enterprise applications …

Flash-based solid state disks (SSDs) are beginning to supplant conventional rotating disks
for performance-critical data in myriad DBMS applications, including decision support …

With the development of flash memory technology, flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) are
gradually used in more and more devices and applications. In addition to characteristics of …

Solid State Drives (SSDs) are complex devices with varying internal implementations,
resulting in subtle differences in behavior between devices. In this paper, we demonstrate …

The continuous evolution of computer hardware in the past decades has resulted in a rapid
increase of available computing power. However, not all application areas benefited from …

As Solid State Disk (SSD) drive technology matures and costs continue to decrease, it is
becoming a viable replacement for traditional, rotational hard disk drives. SSDs are based …

Solid state drives perform random reads more than 100x faster than traditional magnetic
hard disks, while offering comparable sequential read and write bandwidth. Because of their …

Enterprise databases use storage tiering to lower capital and operational expenses. In such
a setting, data waterfalls from an SSD-based high-performance tier when it is" …
