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 …

We describe GraFBoost, a flash-based architecture with hardware acceleration for external
analytics of multi-terabyte graphs. We compare the performance of GraFBoost with 1 GB of …

In flash storage, an FTL is a complex piece of code that resides completely inside the
storage device and is provided by the manufacturer. Its principal virtue is providing …

Low-latency and high-bandwidth access to a large amount of data is a key requirement for
many web applications in data centers. To satisfy such a requirement, a distributed …

Melanoma, one type of skin cancer is considered o the most dangerous form of skin cancer
occurred in humans. However it is curable if the person detects early. To minimize the …

Efficient management of storage is a primary concern in all systems dealing with Big Data. In
the modern era, flash-based solid-state drives (SSDs) are widely adopted in computer …

Current systems produce a large and growing amount of data, which is often referred to as
Big Data. Providing valuable insights from this data requires new computing systems to store …

We propose a new I/O architecture for NAND flash-based SSDs, called application-
managed flash (AMF) and present two case studies to show its usefulness. In a typical SSD …

The constant growth of data is pushing storage systems towards ever-increasing I/O
bandwidth and lower latency requirements. In recent years, the Non-Volatile Memory …

With the increase in data volumes, it is prudent to classify data depending on its criticality.
One might prefer a cheap storage for a year old system logs but a highly fault tolerant …
