Professor David Du

This group has focused their research on the design and evaluation of large-scale storage systems. They have investigated the impact of NV-RAM on future computing and communication environments, and how to design and evaluate large scale Solid State Drives (SSD) and Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR) drives. They are especially interested in I/O workload analyses for many emerging applications like big data or real-time video and audio streaming, and high-performance computing (like the Panasas file system).
