Walking with Perception: Efficient Random Walk Sampling via Common Neighbor Awareness

Random walk is widely applied to sample large-scale graphs due to its simplicity of implementation and solid theoretical foundations of bias analysis. However, its computational efficiency is heavily limited by the slow convergence rate (a.k.a. long …

HCFTL: A Locality-Aware Page-Level Flash Translation Layer

The increasing capacity of SSDs requires a large amount of built-in DRAM to hold the mapping information of logical-to-physical address translation. Due to the limited size of DRAM, existing FTL schemes selectively keep some active mapping entries in …

On the Optimal Monitor Placement for Inferring Additive Metrics of Interested Paths

In the “network-as-a-service” paradigm, network operators have a strong need to know the metrics of critical paths running services to their users/tenants. However, it is usually prohibitive to directly measure the metrics of all such paths due to …

ISM- An Intra-Stripe Data Migration Approach for RAID-5 Scaling

Scaling is often carried out in modern RAID systems to meet the ever increasing demand of storage capacity and I/O performance. However, the scaling process of RAID-5 system is not trivial, due to its specific data/parity layout. Previous approaches …
