Since their arrival more than a decade ago, Flash has been improved\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Esignificantly in terms of latency, throughput, and capacity. While storage hardware has evolved, the corresponding\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Esoftware stack is the main bottleneck not only for Flash but also for imminent storage media deemed to be significantly\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Efaster than Flash.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn my thesis defense, I will demonstrate new approaches to designing flash-based storage systems to unleash the power\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Eof hardware devices while preserving the simplicity and guarantees of system abstractions. Specifically, I will present\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Efour systems\u0026nbsp;(FlashBlox, FlashMap, WearDrive, and FlashGuard) that enable applications to leverage the power of\u0026nbsp;Flash\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003Ewith little\u0026nbsp;software overheads by challenging conventional wisdom on storage system design.
