Abstract

Emerging byte-addressable, non-volatile memory provides opportunities for preserving files in memory. However, there is no systematic performance study across different file systems. This paper evaluates the performance of modern NVM-based file systems (e.g., PMFS, SIMFS, and NOVA) with a series of preliminary studies. Several interesting findings are concluded with our study, which should be well considered by file system designers during the employment. Furthermore, this paper explores the visualization of NVM-based file systems and develops NVMPlayer. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first graphical tool to display the internal mechanisms of NVM-based file systems. It demonstrates how visualization can help us shed light on the complex phenomena in NVM-based file system and expose new opportunities for optimization.
