Abstract

This paper proposes NV-Cleaning, an efficient segment cleaning scheme for a log-structured filesystem with hybrid memory architecture. During segment cleaning, NV-Cleaning copies valid data to NVRAM rather than to the underlying slow storage. By doing so, NV-Cleaning quickly finishes segment cleaning and resume I/O of user processes faster than the conventional scheme. Our experimental results show that NV-Cleaning outperforms the conventional scheme in terms of both throughput and latency.
