Modern non-volatile memory storage devices operate significantly faster than traditional rotating disk media. Disk paging, though never intended for use as an active memory displacement scheme, may be viable as a cost-efficient cache between main memory and sufficiently fast secondary storage. However, existing benchmarks are not designed to accurately measure the microsecond-level latencies at...

For the programmer, storage media are usually assumed to have a minimum atomic unit of transfer of one byte. However , sometimes it is useful to have an even ner storage granularity of one bit, for instance in order to compress data. This paper describes an API in the lazy functional language Haskell for treating storage media as arbitrary-length streams of bits, without byte-alignment constrai...

We present an overview of our recent research efforts on read–write volume holographic digital data storage. High areal density (394 bits/square micron) holographic data storage, and a novel system architecture for extending this high density to high capacity are described. We also discuss signal–processing of data pages to compensate for pixel shifts, and two–color gated storage media to provi...

The combination of a removable storage device with a communication channel and a computation node is a common architectural theme in many system-on-chip (SOC) designs. The systems in which many of these devices are placed produce or consume digital media content from their removable storage devices, which are formatted with industrystandard file systems. When the communication channel is USB, t...

The Huygens file server is a high-performance file server which is able to deliver multi-media data in a timely manner while also providing clients with ordinary “Unix” like file I/O. The file server integrates client machines, file servers and tertiary storage servers in the same storage architecture. The client’s view on the storage system is a very large file system, while in practice it is ...

OBJECTIVE Both the length of extra-alveolar time and type of storage media are significant factors that can affect the long-term prognosis of replanted teeth. This study aims to compare propolis 50%, propolis 10%, Hank's balanced salt solution (HBSS), milk and egg white on periodontal ligament (PDL) cell survival for different time points. MATERIALS AND METHODS : In this in vitro experimental...

BACKGROUND Tooth avulsion is one of the most severe dental traumas which most often occur in children. When immediate replantation is not possible, storage in a proper media may lead to a prolonged survival rate. Aloe Vera is a cactus like plant with green, tapered leaves that are filled with a transparent viscous gel. This medicinal plant has significant anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibac...

The capacity of digital storage media is growing at a phenomenal rate, leading to an increase in the overall time it takes to process a typical digital forensics investigation. Conventional tools and techniques simply do not cater for the size of potential evidence that investigators have to analyse. With digital evidence being available on an increasing number of digital media types, ranging f...

The intensive research activity in analysis of social media and microblogging data in recent years suggests the necessity and great potential of platforms that can efficiently store, query, analyze, and visualize social media data. To support these “social media observatories” effectively, a storage platform must satisfy special requirements for loading and storage of multi-terabyte datasets, a...

In our everyday lives, we create massive amounts of data. But how much does it really cost to store data? With ever decreasing cost of storage media, a popular misconception is that the cost of storage has become cheaper than ever. However, we argue that the cost of storing data is not equal to the cost of storage media alone – rather, many often ignored factors including human, infrastructure,...
