Abstract

During the past decade, network and storage devices have undergone rapid performance improvements, delivering ultra-low latency and several Gbps of bandwidth. Nevertheless, current network and storage stacks fail to deliver this hardware performance to the applications, often due to the loss of I/O efficiency from stalled CPU performance. While many efforts attempt to address this issue solely on either the network or the storage stack, achieving high-performance for networked-storage applications requires a holistic approach that considers both.

In this article, we present FlashNet, a software I/O stack that unifies high-performance network properties with flash storage access and management. FlashNet builds on RDMA principles and abstractions to provide a direct, asynchronous, end-to-end data path between a client and remote flash storage. The key insight behind FlashNet is to co-design the stack’s components (an RDMA controller, a flash controller, and a file system) to enable cross-stack optimizations and maximize I/O efficiency. In micro-benchmarks, FlashNet improves 4kB network I/O operations per second (IOPS by 38.6% to 1.22M, decreases access latency by 43.5% to 50.4μs, and prolongs the flash lifetime by 1.6-5.9× for writes. We illustrate the capabilities of FlashNet by building a Key-Value store and porting a distributed data store that uses RDMA on it. The use of FlashNet’s RDMA API improves the performance of KV store by 2× and requires minimum changes for the ported data store to access remote flash devices.

FlashNet: flash/network stack co-design
SYSTOR '17: Proceedings of the 10th ACM International Systems and Storage Conference

During the past decade, network and storage devices have undergone rapid performance improvements, delivering ultra-low latency and several Gbps of bandwidth. Nevertheless, current network and storage stacks fail to deliver this hardware performance to ...
SILT: a memory-efficient, high-performance key-value store
SOSP '11: Proceedings of the Twenty-Third ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles

SILT (Small Index Large Table) is a memory-efficient, high-performance key-value store system based on flash storage that scales to serve billions of key-value items on a single node. It requires only 0.7 bytes of DRAM per entry and retrieves key/value ...
ScaleStore: A Fast and Cost-Efficient Storage Engine using DRAM, NVMe, and RDMA
SIGMOD '22: Proceedings of the 2022 International Conference on Management of Data

In this paper, we propose ScaleStore, a novel distributed storage engine that exploits DRAM caching, NVMe storage, and RDMA networking to achieve high performance, cost-efficiency, and scalability at the same time. Using low latency RDMA messages, ...
