We introduce Skylight, a novel methodology that combines software and hardware
techniques to reverse engineer key properties of drive-managed Shingled Magnetic …

Host-managed shingled magnetic recording drives (HM-SMR)[2] give a capacity advantage
to harness the explosive growth of data. Applications where data is sequentially written and …

A storage system includes a storage device including a controller and a nonvolatile memory
unit, and a host including a processor configured to determine whether or not the host is …

Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) is a new technique for increasing areal data density in
hard drives. Drivemanaged SMR (DM-SMR) drives employ a shingled translation layer to …

Cloud object storage vendors are always in pursuit of better cost efficiency. Emerging
Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drives are becoming economically favorable in …

Drive-Managed SMR (ShingledMagnetic Recording) disks offer a plug-compatible higher-
capacity replacement for conventional disks. For non-sequential workloads, these disks …

Zoned Namespace (ZNS) SSDs are the latest evolution of host-managed flash storage,
enabling improved performance at a lower cost-per-byte than traditional block interface …

Let a text string T of n symbols and a pattern string P of m symbols from alphabet Σ be given.
A swapped version T′ of T is a length n string derived from T by a series of local swaps (ie …

Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drives can benefit large-scale storage systems by
reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of dealing with explosive data growth. Among …

Host-managed shingled magnetic recording drives (HM-SMR) are advantageous in capacity
to harness the explosive growth of data. For key-value (KV) stores based on log-structured …
