Removing The Costs Of Indirection in Flash-based SSDs with Nameless Writes

by Andrea C. Arpaci-dusseau, Remzi H. Arpaci-dusseau, Vijayan Prabhakaran
"... We present nameless writes, a new interface that obviates the need for indirection in modern solid-state storage devices (SSDs). Nameless writes allow the device to pick the location of a write and only then inform the client above of the decision. Doing so keeps control of block allocation decision ..."

Modern Information Retrieval

by Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Berthier Ribeiro-Neto , 1999
"... Information retrieval (IR) has changed considerably in the last years with the expansion of the Web (World Wide Web) and the advent of modern and inexpensive graphical user interfaces and mass storage devices. As a result, traditional IR textbooks have become quite out-of-date which has led to the i ..."

De-indirection for flash-based ssds with nameless writes

by Yiying Zhang, Leo Prasath Arulraj, Andrea C. Arpaci-dusseau, Remzi H. Arpaci-dusseau - In FAST , 2012
"... We present Nameless Writes, a new device interface that removes the need for indirection in modern solid-state storage devices (SSDs). Nameless writes allow the device to choose the location of a write; only then is the client informed of the name (i.e., address) where the block now resides. Doing s ..."

The Abstraction: Files and Directories

by n.n.
"... Thus far we have seen the development of two key operating system abstractions: the process, which is a virtualization of the CPU, and the address space, which is a virtualization of memory. In tandem, these two abstractions allow a program to run as if it is in its own pri-vate, isolated world; as ..."

more critical piece to the virtualiza-tion puzzle: persistent storage. A persistent-storage device, such as a classic hard disk drive or a more modern solid-state storage de-vice, stores information permanently (or at least, for a long time). Unlike memory, whose contents are lost when there is a power

Block management in solid-state devices

by Abhishek Rajimwale, Vijayan Prabhakaran, John D. Davis - In Proceedings of the USENIX Annual Technical Conference , 2009
"... Solid-state devices (SSDs) have the potential to replace traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) as the de facto storage medium. Unfortunately, there are several decades of spinning-media assumptions embedded in the software stack as an “unwritten contract ” [20]. In this paper, we revisit these system- ..."

Ensuring Data Survival on Solid-State Storage Devices

by Jehan-françois Pâris
"... The emergence of more reliable, often much faster solid-stage storage devices is revolutionizing most aspects of data storage technology. We address here the impact of these new storage devices on the techniques used to ensure data survival. In particular, we show that, the higher bandwidth-to-capac ..."

"... batteries P roviding suf-ficient energy for the world’s popula-tion is the grand chal-lenge of this century. An integral part of that challenge is to provide energy storage for the full range of human activity, so that energy use can be efficient. Chemical energy storage in the form of batteries wil ..."
