GNU/Linux Storage: NVMe, CSDs, and 'Big Data'

Micron Working On NVMe SSD Abrupt Shutdown Support For Linux - Phoronix
The NVMe specification provides for an abrupt shutdown mode over the normal/safe shutdown command if needing to quickly get the NVMe solid-state storage ready for powering off as quickly as possible. Currently the Linux kernel isn't making use of the NVMe abrupt shutdown command but a proposal by Micron is looking to begin its usage.
A patch set sent out on Monday by a Micron engineer wires up the abrupt shutdown support for NVMe SSD. The initial use-case is over platforms with a very limited back-up power supply and if knowing a power loss is imminent, to perform the abrupt shutdown of the NVMe SSD.

Linux as a computational storage panacea? - Open Source Insider
Linux is widely agreed to be key to the onward development of computational storage.
As we have noted before, computational storage enables a software and hardware system to offload and alleviate constraints on existing compute, memory and storage.
So given this proposition, how should software engineers identify, target and architect specific elements of the total processing workload to reside closer to computational storage disks (CSDs) and what role can Linux play in this process?
The open ecosystem of open source Linux has been lauded as a key facilitating technology to creating the secure containerisation principles that express key elements of computational storage.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
