Our department’s Professor Myoungsoo Jung’s research team has developed ‘DockerSSD,’ which allows storage devices to be utilized as independent server that processes data without computer.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The DockerSSD employs Docker, a widely used operating system-level virtualization software, to provide a complete environment for executing user-level applications. <\/span><\/div>\n
Such a complete environment empowers the users to easily leverage Smart SSD technology.<\/span><\/div>\n
The evaluation result showed that DockerSSD accelerates the execution by 2x and reduces the power consumption by 2x.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Smart SSD technology has been discussed for decades as a solution to accelerate data processing by minimizing data movement. To leverage Smart SSD’s advantage, there were numerous approaches from memory\/storage vendors.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
However, these approaches have not been widely deployed due to their poor usability. This is because the vendors did not want their internal hardware and software disclosed. <\/span><\/div>\n
Instead, they have provided their internal environments through different interfaces, forcing applications to be modified to fit these interfaces.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
To enhance the usability of Smart SSD technology, Prof. Jung’s research team developed DockerSSD, a new way of Smart SSD that employs Docker inside the storage device. <\/span><\/div>\n
Docker is an operating system-level virtualization software that provides all the necessary environments for user applications running on the operating system. <\/span>By leveraging Docker, DockerSSD can implement an environment used in a host within the storage device.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
This allows users to run their application in storage, without being bounded by vendor-specific interfaces. Since this work relieves a significant burden on the users while providing high performance and high energy efficiency, the research team expects this work to be widely adopted in growing data centers.<\/span><\/div>\n
