AI Technical Summary
Existing block storage systems face performance issues due to mapping tables that cannot fit in local memory, leading to extra latency and low throughput, especially when handling non-linear address mappings between compressed and uncompressed data.
An adaptive mapping scheme that dynamically switches between segment mapping and flat hash table mapping based on input/output request patterns, optimizing memory usage and reducing overhead by tracking all mapping information in memory rather than external storage.
This approach enhances throughput and reduces latency by efficiently managing both sequential and random I/O requests, minimizing the need for disk reads and optimizing memory usage.
