Traditional approaches to replication require client requests to be ordered before making them durable by copying them to replicas. As a result, clients must wait for two round-trip times (RTTs) before updates complete. In this paper, we…
HPC applications pose high demands on I/O performance and storage capability. The emerging non-volatile memory (NVM) techniques offer low-latency, high bandwidth, and persistence for HPC applications. However, the existing I/O stack are…
Persistent Memory (PM) is a new storage technology thatbrings high performance, byte addressability, and persistency for a lesser cost than DRAM. Due to cache volatility and store reordering, developers must use explicit instructions (e.g.:…
RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) is widely exploited in building key-value stores to achieve ultra low latency. In RDMA-based key-value stores, the indexing time takes a large fraction (up to 74%) of the overall operation latency as RDMA…
Non-volatile memory (NVM) provides a scalable and power-efficient solution to replace DRAM as main memory. However, because of relatively high latency and low bandwidth of NVM, NVM is often paired with DRAM to build a heterogeneous memory…
