Title: Optimizing Memory/Storage Systems for Big Data Applications
Abstract: Optimizing memory/storage is one of the most critical issues in big data systems as huge amount of data need to be stored/transferred/processed in memory and storage devices. In this talk, I will introduce our recent work in optimizing memory/storage systems for big data applications. In particular, I will present an approach by deeply integrating device and application to optimize flash-based key-value caching – one of the most important building blocks in modern web infrastructures and high-performance data-intensive applications. I will also briefly talk about the challenges and opportunities by utilizing the NVDIMM (Non-Volatile Dual In-line Memory Module) technologies to reduce the long I/O latency for big data workloads.
