Cloud block storage (CBS) is a key pillar of public clouds. Today's CBS distinguishes itself
from physical counterparts (eg, SSDs) by offering unique burst capability as well as …

LSM-based key-value stores suffer from sub-optimal performance due to their slow and
heavy background compactions. The compaction brings severe CPU and network overhead …

Device pass-through has been widely adopted by cloud service providers to achieve near
bare-metal I/O performance in virtual machines (VMs). However, this approach requires …

The random write performance is critical for a wide range of applications in the cloud. To
accelerate such applications, researchers have proposed to realize a log structure in the file …

Non-volatile Memory Express (NVMe) storage has the advantage of ultraperformance. It has
gained widespread adoption within cloud data centers, and its significance is only growing …

Cloud Block Storage (CBS) relies on Cloud Virtual Disks (CVDs) to provide block interfaces
to Cloud Virtual Machines. The process of allocating user-subscribed CVDs to physical …

In cloud computing environments, providing high-performance and reliable storage
solutions is critical. Shared disk is a typical product in this domain, allowing one cloud disk to …
