Tentative Syllabus

This class will cover many topics of data-storage systems, from hardware devices (SSD, NVM, SMR, etc.), to operating system layers (Linux VFS, block), to user-level layers, networks (NFSv4, distributed systems), and more. Additional topics will cover security, performance, energy efficiency, compression and deduplication, RAID, and futuristic storage (DNS, Silica).

The course will be lecture based. There will likely be 1-2 exams (midterms and/or final), some paper reading (and possible presentations by students in lieu for one exam), and team projects (TBD).

More details TBA closer to the start of SP25 semester.
