FloDB: Unlocking Memory in Persistent Key-Value Stores

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Vasileios Trigonakis, Oana Maria Balmau

Log-structured merge (LSM) data stores enable to store and process large volumes of data while maintaining good performance. They mitigate the I/O bottleneck by absorbing updates in a memory layer and transferring them to the disk layer in sequential batch ...

Fast and Robust Memory Reclamation for Concurrent Data Structures

Rachid Guerraoui, Mihail Igor Zablotchi, Oana Maria Balmau

In concurrent systems without automatic garbage collection, it is challenging to determine when it is safe to reclaim memory, especially for lock-free data structures. Existing concurrent memory reclamation schemes are either fast but do not tolerate proce ...

TRIAD: creating synergies between memory, disk and log in log structured key-value stores

Rachid Guerraoui, Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Oana Maria Balmau

We present TRIAD, a new persistent key-value (KV) store based on Log-Structured Merge (LSM) trees. TRIAD improves LSM KV throughput by reducing the write amplification arising in the maintenance of the LSM tree structure. Although occurring in the backgrou ...
