What is a File System?

I don’t know if I’ve discussed this previously, but if so, feel free to skip it. I had a meeting with one of my supervisors this morning and he observed that something I pointed out “would make a great HotOS paper…” I’m pretty much off the hook on that one, since there won’t be another […]

MICA: A Holistic Approach to Fast In-Memory Key-Value Storage

MICA: A Holistic Approach to Fast In-Memory Key-Value Storage Hyeontaek Lim, Dongsu Han, David G. Andersen, and Michael Kaminsky in Proceedings of the 11th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI ’14).  April 2-4, 2014, Seattle, WA. It’s time to turn attention to key value stores.  There are quite a few papers on this […]

SILT: A Memory-Efficient, High-Performance Key-Value Store

SILT: A Memory-Efficient, High-Performance Key-Value Store Hyeontaek Lim, Bin Fan, David G. Andersen, Michael Kaminsky, in Proceedings of the 23rd Symposium on Operating Systems Principles (SOSP ’11), October 23-26, 2011, Cascais, Portugal. In this paper, we have an interesting hybrid key-value store; part of the store is in DRAM, while the rest of it is stored […]

Cache Craftiness for Fast Multicore Key-Value Storage

Cache Craftiness for Fast Multicore Key-Value Storage Yandong Mao, Eddie Kohler, Robert Morris, in Proceedings of the 7th ACM european conference on Computer Systems (Eurosys ’12), pp. 183-196, Bern, Switzerland, April 10 – 13, 2012. In this work, the authors build a key-value system called MassTree.  This is an in-memory Key-Value store (I will look at several of them, […]

On the history of File Systems

I have made it a goal for 2018 to answer a question several people have asked me: what papers should I read to learn more about file systems. So I’ve decided to attempt to copy a format that I’ve found useful – The Morning Paper. I admit, I am not sure I’ll be able to […]
