Abstract

With recent declines in the cost of semiconductor memory and the increasing need for high performance I/O disk systems, it makes sense to consider the design of large caches. In this paper, we consider the effect of caching writes. We show that cache sizes in the range of a few percent allow writes to be performed at negligible or no cost and independently of locality considerations.

In CMPs, coherence protocols are used to maintain data coherence among the multiple local caches. In this paper, we focus on CMPs using write-through local caches, and a directory-based coherence protocol implemented as a duplicate of the local cache ...

FAST'13: Proceedings of the 11th USENIX conference on File and Storage Technologies

Host-side flash-based caching offers a promising new direction for optimizing access to networked storage. Current work has argued for using host-side flash primarily as a read cache and employing a write-through policy which provides the strictest ...
