SAL-Hashing: A Self-Adaptive Linear Hashing Index for SSDs.

Flash memory based solid state drives (SSDs) have emerged as a new alternative to replace magnetic disks due to their high performance and low power consumption. However, random writes on SSDs are much slower than SSD reads. Therefore, traditional index structures, which are designed based on the symmetrical I/O property of magnetic disks, cannot completely exert the high performance of SSDs. In t...
