WISH 2009 - FIRST WORKSHOP ON INTEGRATING SOLID-STATE MEMORY INTO THE STORAGE HIERARCHY (WISH 2009)

FIRST WORKSHOP ON INTEGRATING SOLID-STATE MEMORY INTO THE STORAGE
HIERARCHY (WISH 2009)

CALL FOR PAPERS

The goal of this workshop is to promote new ideas and research on
solid-state devices and systems. The emergence of solid-state storage
devices provides opportunities to address performance and power challenges
in computer systems. Hybrid storage systems might employ solid-state
memory in a variety of ways, such as capacity extensions to traditional
DRAM-based main memory, caches or buffers that retain data over longer
time scales, devices that complement or replace hard disk drives, or some
combination of these approaches. Utilizing solid-state technology
effectively requires close interaction between computer architects,
systems software designers, and application developers. The objective of
this first WISH workshop is to create a forum for such interaction. We
solicit papers that present new research results, describe works in
progress, or propose new directions of research. We also welcome position
papers from industry.
