In the near future, commodity hardware is expected to incorporate both flash and magnetic disks. In this paper we study how the storage layer of a database system can benefit from...
In NAND flash-based storage systems, an intermediate software layer called a flash translation layer (FTL) is usually employed to hide the erase-before-write characteristics of NA...

Using device write buffers is a promising technique to improve the write performance of solid-state disks. The write buffer not only reduces the write traffic to the flash but als...
NAND flash-based storage is widely used in embedded systems due to its numerous benefits: low cost, high density, small form factor and so on. However, NAND flash-based storage is...
