Abstract

Classical buffer replacement policies, e.g., LRU, are suboptimal for database systems having flash disks for persistence, because they are not aware of the distinguished characteristics of those storage devices. We discuss the basic principles of flash-aware algorithms and issues related to transaction management. An efficient flash-aware algorithm, CFDC, is presented and compared to several previous proposals.
