Non-volatile main memory (NVMM) technologies promise byte addressability and near-
DRAM access that allows developers to build persistent applications with common load and …

We present Nap, a black-box approach that converts concurrent persistent memory (PM)
indexes into NUMA-aware counterparts. Based on the observation that real-world workloads …

Non-volatile memory (NVM) has the properties of both byte addressable and persistence,
which provides new opportunities for building on-line transaction processing (OLTP) …

We design CrossFS, a cross-layered direct-access file system disaggregated across user-
level, firmware, and kernel layers for scaling I/O performance and improving concurrency …

Abstract Persistent Memory (PM) and Hardware Transactional Memory (HTM) are two recent
architectural developments whose joint usage promises to drastically accelerate the …

Failure-atomic transactions are a critical mechanism for accessing and manipulating data on
persistent memory (PM) with crash consistency. We identify that small random writes in …

Client-side replication and direct client-to-client synchronization can be used to create highly
available, low-latency interactive applications. Causal consistency, the strongest available …

Increased capacity of main memory has led to the rise of in-memory databases. With disk
access eliminated, efficiency of index structures has become critical for performance in these …

This paper presents multi-version read-log-update (MV-RLU), an extension of the read-log-
update (RLU) synchronization mechanism. While RLU has many merits including an …

File system journaling critically limits the scalability of a file system because all simultaneous
write operations coming from multiple cores must be serialized to be written to the journal …
