Abstract:This paper studies the integration of data compression into block devices built upon non-volatile memory (NVM). Although byteaddressable NVM-based main memory systems received most attention from the research community, industry chose to first commercialize NVM-based block devices, at least partly because block devices can much better mitigate non-ideal NVM characteristics (e.g., random bit errors, wear-out, and defects). It is very likely that NVMbased memory and block devices will co-exist in future computin… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
