The Zoned Namespace (ZNS) interface represents a new division of functionality between
host software and flash-based SSDs. Current flash-based SSDs maintain the decades-old …

Web services rely on caching at nearly every layer of the system architecture. Commonly,
each cache is implemented and maintained independently by a distinct team and is highly …

Solid-state drives (SSDs) are used in a wide array of computer systems today, including in
datacenters and enterprise servers. As the I/O demands of these systems have increased …

We present FEMU, a QEMU-based flash emulator for fostering future full-stack
software/hardware SSD research, with the following four" CASE" benefits. FEMU is cheap …

Storage systems are designed and optimized relying on wisdom derived from analysis
studies of file-system and block-level workloads. However, while SSDs are becoming a …

Due to the latency difference between DRAM and non-volatile main memory (NVMM) and
the limited capacity of DRAM, incoming writes are often stalled in LSM tree-based key-value …

The performance of compute hardware varies: software run repeatedly on the same server
(or a different server with supposedly identical parts) can produce performance results that …

This paper presents LinnOS, an operating system that leverages a light neural network for
inferring SSD performance at a very fine—per-IO—granularity and helps parallel storage …

Many social-media and IoT services have very large working sets consisting of billions of
tiny (≈ 100 B) objects. Large, flash-based caches are important to serving these working …

New non-volatile memory technologies offer unprecedented performance levels for
persistent storage. However, to exploit their full potential, a deeper performance …
