In the last decade, DNA has been increasingly investigated as an alternative medium for cold data storage, presenting several advantages over standard hard drives such as a higher density, longer lifespan and lower energy consumption. However, such coding ...
With the increasing dominance of SSDs for local storage, today's network mounted virtual disks can no longer offer competitive performance. We propose a Log-Structured Virtual Disk (LSVD) that couples log-structured approaches at both the cache and storage ...
Understanding memory requires an explanation for how information can be stored in the brain in a stable state. The change in the brain that accounts for a given memory is referred to as an engram. In recent years, the term engram has been operationalized a ...
The foreseen important increase of the penetration of distributed renewable energies technologies into the electricity distribution grid is expected to lead to some major challenges. On the one hand, a large and synchronous production could lead in certain ...
Data lakes are complex ecosystems where heterogeneity prevails. Raw data of diverse formats are stored and processed, while long and expensive ETL processes are avoided. Apart from data heterogeneity, data lakes also entail hardware heterogeneity. Typical ...
A simple task of storing a database or transferring it to a different point via a communication channel turns far more complex as the size of the database grows large. Limited bandwidth available for transmission plays a central role in this predicament. I ...
We summarize the results and perspectives from a companion article, where we presented and evaluated an alternative architecture for data storage in distributed networks. We name the bio-inspired architecture RAIN, and it offers file storage service that, ...
Amid a data revolution that is transforming industries around the globe, computing systems have undergone a paradigm shift where many applications are scaled out to run on multiple computers in a computing cluster. As the storage and processing capabilitie ...
Whether it be for environmental sensing or Internet of Things (IoT) applications, sensor networks are of growing use thanks to their large-scale sensing and distributed data storage abilities. However, when used in hazardous conditions and thus undergoing ...
As storage hardware evolves, the systems and components which interact with them must adapt as well. Outdated assumptions at the operating system level necessitate a dramatic rethinking of the storage path as emerging storage technology offer performance s ...
