Implementing a Tag Storage System Designed for Fast Retrieval

Overview In a storage system where the amount of data exceeds the size of the computer memory, it is necessary to store the data on disk rather than directly in memory. However, the time it takes to access and read from a disk is far greater than the time it takes to read from memory, and thus developing a way to represent the data on disk such that it can be efficiently accessed and updated is desirable. This paper presents a design for the storage of tag triplets that optimizes for fast retrieval.
