Prototyping System RAM and Disk
نویسندگان
چکیده
Prototyping system RAM and its interactions with disk is attractive for several reasons. Memory hierarchies at this level are important to computing performance, slow relative to the processor, and difficult to model accurately. This talk details a search for a prototyping vehicle; it motivates prototyping, identifies some unfruitful paths, and explains the pros and cons of the chosen solution.

Conquest: Better Performance Through a Disk/Persistent-RAM Hybrid File System
The rapidly declining cost of persistent RAM technologies prompts the question of when, not whether, such memory will become the preferred storage medium for many computers. Conquest is a file system that provides a transition from disk to persistent RAM as the primary storage medium. Conquest provides two specialized and simplified data paths to in-core and on-disk storage, and Conquest realiz...
متن کاملRAPID-Cache - A Reliable and Inexpensive Write Cache for Disk I/O Systems
This paper presents a new cache architecture called RAPID-Cache for Redundant, Asymmetrically Parallel, and Inexpensive Disk Cache. A typical RAPID-Cache consists of two redundant write buuers on top of a disk system. One of the buuers is a primary cache made of RAM or NVRAM and the other is a backup cache containing a two level hierarchy: a small NVRAM buuer on top of a log diskk1]. The backup...
متن کاملSSDAlloc: Hybrid SSD/RAM Memory Management Made Easy
We introduce SSDAlloc, a hybrid main memory management system that allows developers to treat solid-state disk (SSD) as an extension of the RAM in a system. SSDAlloc moves the SSD upward in the memory hierarchy, usable as a larger, slower form of RAM instead of just a cache for the hard drive. Using SSDAlloc, applications can nearly transparently extend their memory footprints to hundreds of gi...
متن کاملChunkStash: Speeding Up Inline Storage Deduplication Using Flash Memory
Storage deduplication has received recent interest in the research community. In scenarios where the backup process has to complete within short time windows, inline deduplication can help to achieve higher backup throughput. In such systems, the method of identifying duplicate data, using disk-based indexes on chunk hashes, can create throughput bottlenecks due to disk I/Os involved in index l...
متن کاملA new hierarchical disk architecture
Large RAM caches are generally used to speed up disk accesses. Such caches more eeectively improve read performance than write performance, since write requests must be frequently written into disks to protect them from data loss or damage due to system failures. While Non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) caches can be used to improve write performance, large NVRAM caches are too expensive for many applica...
