Storage Systems

Work description

The work plan includes the exploration, design, and implementation of new interfaces for the SPDK platform. In this topic, the exploration of file-oriented interfaces is desired. In parallel, we intend to explore new optimizations, such as data deduplication, support for multi tenancy, and new scheduling algorithms. These optimizations should be implemented and integrated into the platform. Implementation contributions should be evaluated experimentally with different realistic and synthetic workloads.

Academic Qualifications

- MSc Degree in Informatics Engineering.

Minimum profile required

- Solid knowledge of file systems, block devices, and operating systems.- Knowledge of I/O optimizations (e.g., scheduling, caching, deduplication).- Experience using the Intel SPDK platform, supported by technical evidence (code repositories, projects, functional prototypes, articles, or theses).- Experience optimizing the Intel SPDK platform, supported by technical evidence (code repositories, projects, functional prototypes, articles, or theses).

Preference factors

- Experience on implementing I/O optimization techniques.
