                                 INFLOW '14

      Interactions of NVM/Flash with Operating-Systems and Workloads
         OSDI'14 Workshop,   Oct 5, 2014  at Broomfield, CO, USA.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  The goal of INFLOW’14 is to bring together researchers and practitioners
  working in systems, across the hardware/software stack, who are interested
  in the cross-cutting issues of NVM/Flash technologies, Operating Systems,
  and emerging Workloads.

  In recent years, NVM based storage devices have been gaining popularity as
  a medium of storage. Flash based SSDs in particular have had a widespread
  adoption by the industry driven by the need for greater storage
performance.
  NVM storage devices have dramatically different properties than
conventional
  hard disks. Yet, most of these devices are still exposed to operating
systems
  as block-level devices similar to hard disks. There are still several
  fundamental research issues to be explored on how to efficiently
interface
  with NVM and Flash based storage devices, and the implications of such
devices
  in large scale workload deployments and on emerging workloads such as
  Analytics applications.

  The INFLOW Workshop is an attempt to bring top researchers across the
World to
  exchange ideas and discuss recent innovations related to NVM/Flash
technologies
  and their interactions with Operating systems and workloads, and doing
this in
  the context of current enterprises and consumer markets.
