Paper Title: Media Aware Storage Engine for 3DX and 3D NAND QLC

Paper Abstract: 3D XPoint' (Intel Optane Technology) and 3D QLC NAND SSD are two advance technologies, One fills the performance gap between DRAM and NAND-based SSDs while the other reduces the cost gap between SSDs and hard drives, in order to maximize utilization of two technologies, it requires media awareness storage engine. This lecture will introduce a standalone key-value/object storage engine called smart key-value data store (SKVDS) that recognizes and optimizes performance on different storage media, such as Intel Optane SSDs, 3D QLC SSDs etc, this solution is independent from upper applications/services so it can be scaled for wide use cases. This lecture will also present test results vs popular keyvalue solution like RocksDB etc we also show SKVDS different configuration matrix for different performance, QoS, endurance and cost trending.
