Quote-Emerging non-volatile memory technologies such as phase change memory (PCM) promise to increase storage system performance by a wide margin relative to both conventional disks and flash-based SSDs. Realizing this potential will require significant changes to the way systems interact with storage devices as well as a rethinking of the storage devices themselves.
We have built a prototype PCIe-attached storage array called Moneta. Moneta comprises 64GB of emulated PCM storage and a carefully designed hardware/software interface that makes issuing and completing extremely fast. The hardware and software optimizations in the Moneta system increase performance for small, random accesses by 18x and reduces software overheads by 60%. Moneta array sustain 2.8 GB/s for sequential transfers and 541K random 4 KB IO operations per second (8x higher than a state-of-the-art flash-based SSD). Moneta can perform a 512-byte write in 9 us (5.6x faster than the SSD). It is one of the fastest solid state storage arrays in the world, and we are working to make it even faster.
We are using Moneta to understand the impact of extremely fast solid-state storage on systems and applications. Our work has already demonstrated that conventional operating and file systems as well as legacy applications will need significant refinement in order to take full use of Moneta. As Moneta evolves it will also pave the way for new storage applications that are only possible when storage is 1,000x faster than disk.
"Moneta can perform 1.1M 512-byte IOPS"1.1M IOPS-1.1 Million Inputs-Outputs per second !!!!!!!!
