Reaping the performance of solid-state storage
The high-performance storage landscape is being shaped by three main developments: a) Flash memories are scaling to extreme densities (e.g., 3D-TLC, QLC), b) new storage devices offer...
- Toward a better understanding and benchmarking of tree data structures on flash SSDs
Solid-state drives (SSDs) are extensively used to deploy persistent data stores, as they provide low latency random access, high write throughput, high data density, and low cost....To request a tour with this speaker, please complete this online form.
