Data storage devices are getting" smarter." Smart Flash storage devices (aka" Smart SSD")
are on the horizon and will package CPU processing and DRAM storage inside a Smart …

In this paper, we show that all mainstream LSM-tree based key-value stores in the literature
and in industry are suboptimal with respect to how they trade off among the I/O costs of …

A significant amount of source code in software systems consists of comments, ie, parts of
the code which are ignored by the compiler. Comments in code represent a main source for …

Indexes are special purpose data structures, designed to facilitate and speed up the access
to the contents of a file. Indexing has been actively and extensively investigated in DBMSes …

We present SkimpyStash, a RAM space skimpy key-value store on flash-based storage,
designed for high throughput, low latency server applications. The distinguishing feature of …

Large flash disks, or solid state drives (SSDs), have become an attractive alternative to
magnetic hard disks, due to their high random read performance, low energy consumption …

The database research community has been building methods to store, access, and update
data for more than four decades. Throughout the evolution of the structures and techniques …

A unique merit of a solid-state drive (SSD) is its internal parallelism. In this article, we
present a set of comprehensive studies on understanding and exploiting internal parallelism …

We make the case for a sensor network model in which each mote stores sensor data
locally, and provides a database query interface to the data. Unlike TinyDB and Cougar, in …

Although flash storage has largely replaced hard disks in consumer class devices,
enterprise workloads pose unique challenges that have slowed adoption of flash …
