INFLOW '14

Interactions of NVM/Flash with Operating-Systems and Workloads
OSDI'14 Workshop, Oct 5, 2014 at Broomfield, CO, USA.
https://www.usenix.org/conference/inflow14

Submission Date: July 21st, 2014 Acceptance: Aug 25th, 2014


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The goal of INFLOW’14 is to bring together researchers and practitioners
working in systems, across the hardware/software stack, who are
interested
in the cross-cutting issues of NVM/Flash technologies, Operating Systems,
and emerging Workloads.

In recent years, NVM based storage devices have been gaining popularity
as
a medium of storage. Flash based SSDs in particular have had a widespread
adoption by the industry driven by the need for greater storage
performance.
NVM storage devices have dramatically different properties than
conventional
hard disks. Yet, most of these devices are still exposed to operating
systems
as block-level devices similar to hard disks. There are still several
fundamental research issues to be explored on how to efficiently
interface
with NVM and Flash based storage devices, and the implications of such
devices
in large scale workload deployments and on emerging workloads such as
Analytics applications.

The INFLOW Workshop is an attempt to bring top researchers across the
World to
exchange ideas and discuss recent innovations related to NVM/Flash
technologies
and their interactions with Operating systems and workloads, and doing
this in
the context of current enterprises and consumer markets.
