Abstract

A storage system is the core of a computer, and plays an important role in the sustainable development of emerging strategic industries, such as artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things. Storage stack access is a major factor restricting the performance of data-intensive systems because of the increasing performance of processors and network devices. Recently, new storage devices have attracted wide attention due to their ability to break the “memory wall.” These devices include block-addressable flash memory, byte-addressable non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), in-memory computing devices, and large-capacity optical storage. Continuous innovation in algorithms, software designs, and hardware is necessary to build large-scale storage systems with high throughput, low access latency, and high data reliability. It can address challenges in building larger-scale and higher-performance systems with more complex structures. Further, it can boost the experience in building and applying relevant systems and accelerate developing the big data processing.
