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 ...
Solid-state disks are currently based on NAND flash and expose a standard disk interface. To accommodate limitations of the medium, solid-state disk implementations avoid rewritin...
Random data placement has recently emerged as an alternative to traditional data striping. From a performance perspective, it has been demonstrated to be an efficient and scalable...
Current disk arrays, the basic building blocks of highperformance storage systems, are built around two memory technologies: magnetic disk drives, and non-volatile DRAM caches. Di...
