MEMS-based storage devices (MEMStores) are significantly different from both disk drives and semiconductor memories. The differences motivate the queswhether they need new abstrac...
Most database systems use ARIES-like logging and recovery scheme to recover from failures and guarantee transactional consistency. ARIES relies on the Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) pr...

Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...

A shared disk implementation on distributed storage requires consistent behavior of disk operations. Deterministic consensus on such behavior is impossible when even a single stor...
We propose a new approach for I/O scheduling that performs on-line simulation of the underlying disk. When simulation is integrated within a system, three key challenges must be a...
