Significant advances in the throughput and latency for non-volatile media and networking require scalable and efficient software to capitalize these advancements. This session will present an overview of the Storage Performance Development Kit, an open source software project dedicated to providing building blocks for scalable and efficient storage applications with breakthrough performance. There will be a focus on the motivations behind SPDK’s user space, polled-mode model, as well as details on the SPDK NVMe, CB-DMA, NVMe over Fabrics and iSCSI building blocks.

Intel Plumbing the Depths of Cloud Storage: New Opportunities For IO Tracing and Analysis

Intel Labs’ I/O hinting technology (Differentiated Storage Services) is described, along with the new research opportunities it brings, Storage Analytics. The goal of I/O hinting is to bridge the widening semantic gap between computer system and storage systems. By classifying I/O, different classes of data can be handled with different storage system policies. Specifically, when an storage system is first initialized , performance policies are assigned to predefined classes, such as the file system journal. Then, online, a classifier is include with each I/O request, thereby allowing the storage system to enforce the associated policy for each I/O that it receives. Prototypes have been built for various stacks, including file systems, databases, cloud storage stacks, and hypervisors. Once instrumented with I/O classification, stacks can be analyzed in various ways, including bottleneck and dependency analysis, cache utilization, and performance interference among VMs.
