We propose and evaluate the concept of a semantically-smart disk system (SDS). As opposed to a traditional “smart” disk, an SDS has detailed knowledge of how the file system ...
Abstract— Many of today’s data-intensive applications manipulate disk-resident data sets. As a result, their overall behavior is tightly coupled with their disk performance. Un...
