ctFS - Replacing File Indexing with Hardware Memory Translation through Contiguous File Allocation for Persistent Memory

This course aims to teach learners how to replace file indexing with hardware memory translation through contiguous file allocation for persistent memory. The course covers topics such as Precision Memory, Indexing, Design Challenges, Hierarchy Code Layout, Partition Layout, Partition Organization, Pswap, Efficiency, Performance, and Benchmarks. The teaching method involves presenting a novel contiguous file system, ctFS, that eliminates overhead associated with indexing structures in the file system. The intended audience for this course includes computer scientists, software engineers, and individuals interested in persistent byte-addressable memory and file system optimization.
