De-indirection for Flash-based SSDs with Nameless Writes
简述: 文章提出一个叫做NamelessWrites的概念,在这样的概念下SSD就不用做indirection了。
在这样的概念下,由设备选择写的位置,这时候客户才能知道写的位置。
好处: 这样可以允许设备进行块分配策略,进一步可以用设备运行一些关键任务如垃圾回收和损耗均衡。
The Bleak Future of NAND Flash Memory

When Poll is Better than Interrupt
同步完成IO
我认为需要关注实验方法和评测方法,怎么证明自己的方法好。
在评估性能时,我们采用了一个基于DRAM的原型块设备连接到系统上,并使用一个遵守NVM EXPRESS接口规范的下一代NVM模型。设备直接被连接到PCI-e主线上。
As described bythe NVM Express specification the device communicates with the device drivervia segments of main memory, through which the device receives commands andplaces completions. The device can instantiate multiple device queues and canbe configured to generate hardware interrupts upon command completion.
Characteristics of Backup Workloads in Production Systems
文章通过对EMC数据备份系统中的元数据分析,提出一个备份系统的工作负载的综合分类。
WAN Optimized Replication of Backup Datasets UsingStream-Informed Delta Compression
Our main contribution is an architecturethat adds stream-informed delta compression to already existing deduplicationsystems and eliminates the need for new, persistent indexes.
