Today's ultra-low latency SSDs can deliver an I/O latency of sub-ten microseconds. With this
dramatically shrunken device time, operations inside the kernel I/O stack, which were …

Using flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) as main memory has been proposed as a
practical solution towards scaling memory capacity for data-intensive applications. However …

The fast access to data and high parallel processing in high-performance computing
instigates an urgent demand on the I/O improvement of the NVMe storage within …

In modern operating systems, memory-mapped I/O (mmio) is an important access method
that maps a file or file-like resource to a region of memory. The mapping allows applications …

Ensuring high reliability and availability of virtualized NVMe storage systems is crucial for
large-scale clouds. However, previous I/O virtualization systems only focus on improving I/O …

With the ever-increasing amount of data generate in the world, estimated to reach over 200
Zettabytes by 2025, pressure on efficient data storage systems is intensifying. The shift from …

Emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) technology with high throughput and scalability has
considerable attraction in cloud and enterprise storage systems. The industry and academic …

Latency predictability of storage is one important QoS target of the public clouds. Although
modern storage virtualization techniques are devoted to providing fast and scalable storage …

This paper presents a scalable page cache called ScaleCache for improving SSD
scalability. Specifically, we first propose a concurrent data structure of page cache based on …

Fast non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies (eg, phase change memory, spin-transfer
torque memory, and MRAM) provide high performance to legacy storage systems. These …
