Unioning of the Buffer Cache and Journaling Layers with Non-volatile Memory

This course aims to teach the concept of unioning the buffer cache and journaling layers with non-volatile memory. The learning outcomes include understanding how to improve I/O performance by implementing a novel buffer cache architecture that combines caching and journaling functionalities. The course covers the in-place commit scheme, which enhances cache performance without compromising reliability. The teaching method involves presenting research findings, experimental results, and performance comparisons. This course is intended for individuals interested in file systems, storage technologies, and system performance optimization.
