Data storage devices are getting" smarter." Smart Flash storage devices (aka" Smart SSD")
are on the horizon and will package CPU processing and DRAM storage inside a Smart …

In this article, we survey recent research on column-oriented database systems, or column-
stores, where each attribute of a table is stored in a separate file or region on storage. Such …

Cloud Computing is a model of service delivery and access where dynamically scalable and
virtualized resources are provided as a service over the Internet. This model creates a new …

This paper presents a new cluster architecture for low-power data-intensive computing.
FAWN couples low-power embedded CPUs to small amounts of local flash storage, and …

MapReduce-based data warehouse systems are playing important roles of supporting big
data analytics to understand quickly the dynamics of user behavior trends and their needs in …

Abstract Although Flash Memory based Solid State Drive (SSD) exhibits high performance
and low power consumption, a critical concern is its limited lifespan along with the …

Flash memory based solid state drives (SSDs) have shown a great potential to change
storage infrastructure fundamentally through their high performance and low power. Most …

Column-oriented database systems (column-stores) have attracted a lot of attention in the
past few years. Column-stores, in a nutshell, store each database table column separately …

Large flash disks, or solid state drives (SSDs), have become an attractive alternative to
magnetic hard disks, due to their high random read performance, low energy consumption …

A unique merit of a solid-state drive (SSD) is its internal parallelism. In this article, we
present a set of comprehensive studies on understanding and exploiting internal parallelism …
