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 …

Fast non-volatile memories (NVMs) will soon appear on the processor memory bus
alongside DRAM. The resulting hybrid memory systems will provide software with sub …

We present WiscKey, a persistent LSM-tree-based key-value store with a performance-
oriented data layout that separates keys from values to minimize I/O amplification. The …

As Solid-State Drives (SSDs) become commonplace in data-centers and storage arrays,
there is a growing demand for predictable latency. Traditional SSDs, serving block I/Os, fail …

Emerging hardware like persistent memory (PM) and high-speed NICs are promising to
build efficient key-value stores. However, we observe that the small-sized access pattern in …

Current hardware and application storage trends put immense pressure on the operating
system's storage subsystem. On the hardware side, the market for storage devices has …

Non-volatile memory and remote direct memory access (RDMA) provide extremely high
performance in storage and network hardware. However, existing distributed file systems …

Flash storage has become the mainstream destination for storage users. However, SSDs do
not always deliver the performance that users expect. The core culprit of flash performance …

The NVMe zoned namespace (ZNS) is emerging as a new storage interface, where the
logical address space is divided into fixed-sized zones, and each zone must be written …

Emerging Zoned Namespace (ZNS) SSDs, providing the coarse-grained zone abstraction,
hold the potential to significantly enhance the cost-efficiency of future storage infrastructure …
