Flash memory has characteristics of out-of-place update and asymmetric I/O latencies for
read, write, and erase operations. Thus, the buffering policy for flash-based databases has …

A system and method is described for managing map** data in a non-volatile memory
system having a volatile memory cache smaller than the update table for the map** data …

The inherent asymmetry of read and write speeds of flash memory poses great challenges
for buffer management design. Most of existing flash-based buffer management policies …

Over the past decade, storage has been the performance bottleneck in I/O-intensive
programs such as online transaction processing applications. To alleviate this bottleneck …

A cache controller is to allocate memory within set-associative cache that includes a plurality
of sets of ways. The cache controller is to request to assign an entry for a system address in …

Flash devices has become an important storage medium in enterprise hybrid storage
systems. Buffer manager is a central component of database systems. However, traditional …

Techniques are generally described related to a flash-based buffer management strategy.
One example method for managing a buffer for a computer system may include monitoring …

In this paper, we present a design and implementation of FD-Buffer, a cost-based adaptive
buffer manager for flash memory devices. Due to flash memory's unique hardware features …

Recently, with the widely use of flash memory based solid state drives (SSDs), a lot of
studies have been conducted on SSD-based data management, such as index structures …

In the research of solid-state drive (SSD) performance enhancement, constructing an
efficient garbage collection (GC) mechanism is crucial for accelerating device operations …
