Towards Design And Analysis For High-Performance And Reliable Ssds, Qianbin Xia
Theses and Dissertations
NAND Flash-based Solid State Disks have many attractive technical merits, such as low power consumption, light weight, shock resistance, sustainability of hotter operation regimes, and extraordinarily high performance for random read access, which makes SSDs immensely popular and be widely employed in different types of environments including portable devices, personal computers, large data centers, and distributed data systems.
However, current SSDs still suffer from several critical inherent limitations, such as the inability of in-place-update, asymmetric read and write performance, slow garbage collection processes, limited endurance, and degraded write performance with the adoption of MLC and TLC techniques. To alleviate these …

Improving The Performance And Time-Predictability Of Gpus, Yijie Huangfu
Theses and Dissertations
Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) are originally mainly designed to accelerate graphic applications. Now the capability of GPUs to accelerate applications that can be parallelized into a massive number of threads makes GPUs the ideal accelerator for boosting the performance of such kind of general-purpose applications. Meanwhile it is also very promising to apply GPUs to embedded and real-time applications as well, where high throughput and intensive computation are also needed.
However, due to the different architecture and programming model of GPUs, how to fully utilize the advanced architectural features of GPUs to boost the performance and how to analyze the …
