Summary:Compared to hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs) have two fundamentally different properties: (i) read/write asymmetry (writes are slower than reads) and (ii) access concurrency (multiple I/Os can be executed in parallel to saturate the device bandwidth). But, database operators are often designed without considering storage asymmetry and concurrency resulting in device under utilization. In thie episode, Tarikul Islam Papon tells us about his work on a new Asymmetry & Concurrency aware bufferpool management (ACE) that batches writes based on device concurrency and performs them in parallel to amortize the asymmetric write cost.
