Paper Title: Key-Value Store Friendly SSD Interface Design and Optimization

Paper Abstract: This talk presents the SSD interface design choice for key-value stores, which have presented in the talk “Software-Hardware co-designed Key-Value Store based on Open SSD” by ICT. Key-value store system try to maximize the SSD capability in latency, consistency as well as the lower cost. Usually a standard SSD will not expose much flexibility for these demands. Open SSD interface provide a better way for key-value store. Based on a standard SSD controller design, we create a key-value optimized SSD interface. Meanwhile we implement a dedicated strategy for SSD internal parallelism.
