CTRL-301-1: Flash Controller Design Innovations (Controllers Track)
Paper Title: Tunable Flash Translation Layer Improves Storage System Performance

Paper Abstract: SSDs currently allow system designers little flexibility in configuring them for specific applications. Typical FTLs generally allow only a choice of how much overprovisioning is done. However, entire applications or workload profiles within them could often perform better with optimized choices for where and how data is written, scheduling of garbage collection and wear leveling algorithms, QoS parameters, and data integrity requirements. A tunable FTL is one that the system can use to match the data profile to the optimal configuration. The result can be dramatic improvements in performance, QoS, and drive life without any increase in the complexity of the underlying storage system. The improvement is particularly important in large data centers where thousands of drives are often marginalized due to non-optimal configurations.
