Abstract
In-storage processing (ISP) efficiently examines large datasets but faces performance and security challenges. We introduce DockerSSD, a flexible ISP model that runs various applications near flash without modification. It employs lightweight OS-level virtualization in modern SSDs for faster ISP and better storage intelligence with a high flexiblity. DockerSSD reuses existing Docker container images for real-time data processing without altering the storage interface or runtime. Our design includes a new communication method and virtual firmware, alongside automated container-related network and I/O handling hardware. DockerSSD achieves a 2× speed improvement and reduces system-level power by 35.7%, on average.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Computer Architecture Letters is a rigorously peer-reviewed forum for publishing early, high-impact results in the areas of uni- and multiprocessor computer systems, computer architecture, microarchitecture, workload characterization, performance evaluation and simulation techniques, and power-aware computing. Submissions are welcomed on any topic in computer architecture, especially but not limited to: microprocessor and multiprocessor systems, microarchitecture and ILP processors, workload characterization, performance evaluation and simulation techniques, compiler-hardware and operating system-hardware interactions, interconnect architectures, memory and cache systems, power and thermal issues at the architecture level, I/O architectures and techniques, independent validation of previously published results, analysis of unsuccessful techniques, domain-specific processor architectures (e.g., embedded, graphics, network, etc.), real-time and high-availability architectures, reconfigurable systems.
