With the growing use of dynamic web content generated from relational databases, traditional caching solutions for throughput and latency improvements are ineffective. We describe...
New storage-class memory (SCM) technologies, such as phasechange memory, STT-RAM, and memristors, promise user-level access to non-volatile storage through regular memory instruct...
The push method for data transmission in peer-to-peer system has drawn great interest, since it can efficiently reduce the accumulated latency observed at user nodes. However, it ...
In this paper, we take the idea of application-level processing on disks to one level further, and focus on an architecture, called Cluster of Active Disks (CAD), where the storag...
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...
