Solid-state drives (SSDs) are quickly becoming the default storage medium as the cost of
NAND flash memory continues to drop. However, flash memory introduces new challenges …

Under update intensive workloads (TPC, LinkBench) small updates dominate the write
behavior, eg 70% of all updates change less than 10 bytes across all TPC OLTP workloads …

Recent advances in flash memory technology have reduced the cost-per-bit of flash storage
devices such as solid-state drives (SSDs), thereby enabling the development of large …

NAND flash-based Solid State Drives (SSDs) are at the heart of web-scale infrastructures.
The Flash Translation Layers (FTLs) embedded in them have facilitated their widespread …

The database architecture and workhorse algorithms have been designed to compensate
for hard disk properties. The I/O characteristics of Flash memories have significant impact on …

Due to its superiority such as low access latency, low energy consumption, light weight, and
shock resistance, the success of flash memory as a storage alternative for mobile computing …

In order to meet the stringent requirements of low latency as well as high throughput, web
service providers with large data centers have been replacing magnetic disk drives with …

Flash memory is now widely used in the design of solid-state disks (SSDs) as they are able
to sustain significantly higher I/O rates than even high-performance hard disks, while using …

Does the advent of flash devices constitute a radical change for secondary storage? How
should database systems adapt to this new form of secondary storage? Before we can …

Flash memory is the de facto standard for data persistence in dataintensive systems. Despite
its benefits, this type of memory has at least one severe disadvantage: it is offered only as …
