Many computer hardware and software architectures buffer data in memory to improve system performance. Volatile disk or file caches are sometimes used to delay the propagation of ...
We present Griffin, a hybrid storage device that uses a hard disk drive (HDD) as a write cache for a Solid State Device (SSD). Griffin is motivated by two observations: First, HDD...
Abstract--Today's storage systems place an imperative demand on energy efficiency. A storage system often places single-rotationrate disks into standby mode by stopping them f...
To bridge the increasing processor-disk performance gap, buffer caches are used in both storage clients (e.g. database systems) and storage servers to reduce the number of slow di...

Despite a low occurrence rate, silent data corruption represents a growing concern for storage systems designers. Throughout the storage hierarchy, from the file system down to th...
