3rd Workshop on Interactions of NVM/Flash with Operating Systems and Workloads (INFLOW 2016)

Nov 1, 2016

Savannah, Georgia

Call For Papers

The goal of INFLOW’16 is to bring together researchers and practitioners working in systems, across the hardware/software stack, who are interested in the cross-cutting issues of NVM/Flash technologies, Operating Systems, and emerging Workloads. 

In recent years, non-volatile memory (NVM) and in particular Flash-based storage devices have seen widespread adoption, for the most part due to demands for storage performance; in turn solid-state storage has been a key driver in development of new and higher-speed storage interfaces such as SATA Express and NVM Express. Yet these devices are almost always used with software architectures at the block device and file system level that were developed decades ago for high-latency and lower-speed disk media. 

There are still fundamental research issues to be explored on how to efficiently interface applications to NVM- and Flash-based storage devices, and the implications of such devices for large scale workload deployments and on emerging workloads.The INFLOW Workshop is an attempt to bring top researchers across the World to exchange ideas and discuss recent innovations related to NVM/Flash technologies and their interactions with Operating systems and workloads, in the context of current enterprises as well as consumer markets. 

Topics

We invite research papers (up to five (5) pages, excluding references) from all areas of Flash, SSDs, other NVM technologies, and interactions of solid-state storage with operating systems and workloads. Major areas of interests include, but are not limited to: 

* Operating systems support for Flash and newer NVM technologies 
* New filesystem / storage software design ideas to support NVM/Flash 
* Virtualization trends for SSD storage 
* Flash SSD and NVM in Cloud Computing 
* Applications of NVM/Flash to mobile devices and IoT 
* Application/OS optimizations for Flash or other NVM properties 
* Emerging Workloads (Cognitive, BigData, Analytics, Social, etc.) for Flash/NVM 
* Workload characterization for NVM/Flash devices 
* SSD caching techniques 
* Acceleration techniques for Flash Storage and NVM technologies 
* Hybrid SSD technologies
