Flash storage has become the mainstream destination for storage users. However, SSDs do
not always deliver the performance that users expect. The core culprit of flash performance …

We present FEMU, a QEMU-based flash emulator for fostering future full-stack
software/hardware SSD research, with the following four" CASE" benefits. FEMU is cheap …

This paper presents LinnOS, an operating system that leverages a light neural network for
inferring SSD performance at a very fine—per-IO—granularity and helps parallel storage …

Predictable latency on flash storage is a long-pursuit goal, yet, unpredictability stays due to
the unavoidable disturbance from many well-known SSD internal activities. To combat this …

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 present SWAN, a novel All Flash Array (AFA) management scheme. Recent flash SSDs
provide high I/O bandwidth (eg, 3-10GB/s) so the storage bandwidth can easily surpass the …

In NAND flash memory, once a page program or block erase (P/E) command is issued to a
NAND flash chip, the subsequent read requests have to wait until the timeconsuming P/E …

Flash-based Solid State Drive (SSD) has been productively shipped and deployed in large
scale storage systems. However, a single flash-based SSD cannot satisfy the capacity …

Unlike hard disks, flash devices use out-of-place updates operations and require a garbage
collection (GC) process to reclaim invalid pages to create free blocks. This GC process is a …

Software-defined networking (SDN) and software-defined flash (SDF) have been serving as
the backbone of modern data centers. They are managed separately to handle I/O requests …
