Requirement

You need an OCSSD to run the code.

Compilation

make defconfig
# then ``make menuconfig`` to manually enable pblk and other drivers you need
make -j8
sudo make modules_install
sudo make install

This will install a new kernel to your system. Reboot your host system to run it.

MittSSD /sys interface

MittSSD provides some /sys interface for interactions with LightNVM from user space. Checkout the code drivers/lightnvm/pblk-sys.c for MittSSD related ones.

MittSSD code structure:

• syscall and file system layers: added logics to pass the SLO and fast-rejection information through the entire storage stack

• LightNVM: serving as the host-managed device layer. MittSSD extends it with a fine-grnular latency monitoring module for accurate SLO prediction, based on pre-profiled NAND level latencies.

• The read() syscall is extended with a SLO parameter, upon receiving MittSSD returned failure, the application could retry a read() from the replicas.
