We present SWAN, a novel All Flash Array (AFA) management scheme. Recent flash SSDs
provide high I/O bandwidth (eg, 3-10GB/s) so the storage bandwidth can easily surpass the …

Non-Volatile Main Memory (NVMM) devices have been integrated into general-purpose
operating systems through familiar file-based interfaces, providing efficient bytegranularity …

Over the last decade, a variety of external file formats such as Parquet, ORC, Arrow, etc.,
have been developed to store large volumes of relational data in the cloud. As high …

The constant growth of data and its importance to drive Machine Learning and Big Data is
pushing storage systems towards ever increasing I/O bandwidth and lower latency …

To bridge the giant semantic gap between applications and modern storage systems,
passing a piece of tiny and useful information, called I/O access hints, from upper layers to …

Modern applications are increasingly backed by large-scale data centres. Systems software
in these data centre environments, however, faces substantial challenges: the lack of …

In the domain of big data analytics, the bottleneck of converting storage-focused file formats
to in-memory data structures has shifted from the bandwidth of storage to the performance of …

Every physical machine in today's typical datacenter is backed by storage devices with
hundreds of Gigabytes to Terabytes in size. Data center vendors usually use hard disk …

Driven by the advent of byte-addressable non-volatile memory, the persistent memory style
of programming will gain traction among developers, taking its rightful place alongside …

Upcoming HPC clusters will feature hybrid memories and storage devices per compute
node. In this work, we propose to use the MPI one-sided communication model and MPI …
