Blended Storage

In recent years, emerging storage hardware technologies have focused on divergent goals: better performance or lower cost-per-bit:

Correspondingly, data systems that employ these technologies are typically optimized either to be fast (but expensive) or cheap (but slow). We take a different approach: by architecting a storage system to natively utilize two tiers of fast and low-cost storage technologies, we can achieve a Pareto-efficient balance between performance and cost-per-bit.

​This project sets to fundamentally rethink data structures, and algorithms for caching, prefetching and migration for multi-tiered storage.
