Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a transformative technology that is dramatically changing how data storage systems of thefuture are built. This technology allows an unprecedented combination of performance and persistence into a singledevice. This project will develop a suite of storage caching techniques for this transformative technology along fourcomplementary dimensions.The first two usage dimensions address the selective use of NVM as host-side read caches for persistently stored dataas well as using their persistence properties explicitly by developing fault-tolerant write caching solutions. Thelatter two develop advanced techniques for delivering storage quality of service (QoS) using NVM caches and building cachingalgorithms that are aware of data reduction techniques, such as deduplication and compression, for the NVM layer. Together, these contributions have the potential to transform enterprise data center storage stacks by readily adopting the best properties of current and future NVM technology. The expected performance benefits apply to a broad spectrum of computer systems and applications.Educational activities will include the involvement of undergraduate students and incorporation of the project's research findings into coursework. Planned outreach activities will focus on recruitment of under-represented students from minority groups in computer science for participation in the project. Transition of the new technologies to practice through open source distribution of the Linux operating system and KVM hypervisor code implementing the innovations are successful expectations.

非易失性内存（NVM）是一种变革性的技术，正在巨大改变构建数据存储系统的方式。这项技术允许将性能和持久性的前所未有的组合成单身。该项目将沿着四回合维度开发一套用于该变革性技术的存储缓存技术。前两个用法维度解决了NVM作为宿主端读取缓存的选择性使用，以便通过开发稳态的耐足性写入缓存解决方案来持久地存储DataAS。 Thelatter两者开发了使用NVM缓存和构建CachingAlgorithm的高级技术来提供存储质量（QOS），这些技术降低了数据减少技术，例如重复数据删除和压缩NVM层。这些贡献共同利用了当前和未来的NVM技术的最佳属性来改变企业数据中心的存储堆栈。预期的绩效好处适用于广泛的计算机系统和应用程序。教育活动将包括本科生的参与以及将项目的研究结果纳入课程。计划的外展活动将集中于招募来自计算机科学少数群体的代表性不足的学生参加该项目。 通过Linux操作系统的开源分布和实施创新的KVM操纵系统的开源分布来实践新技术是成功的期望。
