SplinterDB - Closing the Bandwidth Gap for NVMe Key-Value Stores
Explore a conference talk that introduces SplinterDB, a novel key-value store designed specifically for NVMe solid state drives. Learn about the STBε-tree data structure, which improves I/O and CPU concurrency while reducing write amplification without compromising query performance. Discover how SplinterDB combines elements from log-structured merge trees and Bε-trees to optimize compaction and minimize CPU costs. Examine the highly concurrent memtable and cache design that reduces cache misses. Compare SplinterDB's performance to RocksDB, a leading key-value store, and understand how it achieves 6-10x faster insertions, 2-2.6x quicker point queries, and a 2x reduction in write amplification. Gain insights into the technical aspects of SplinterDB's architecture and its potential impact on modern storage systems.
