FlashDB: Dynamic Self-Tuning Database for NAND Flash

Overview FlashDB is a self-tuning database optimized for sensor networks using NAND flash storage. In practical systems flash is used in different packages such as on-board flash chips, compact flash cards, secure digital cards and related formats. The experiments reveal non-trivial differences in their access costs. Furthermore, databases may be subject to different types of workloads. This paper shows that existing databases for flash are not optimized for all types of flash devices or for all workloads and their performance is thus suboptimal in many practical systems. FlashDB uses a novel self-tuning index that dynamically adapts its storage structure to workload and underlying storage device.
