KAIST's GAZE Boosts SSD Performance by Threefold!

Researchers at KAIST have developed GAZE, a filesystem technology that drastically improves garbage collection in Zoned Namespace (ZNS) flash storage. By overlapping operations and optimizing memory usage, GAZE reduces cleanup times to one-third and enhances performance up to three times compared to standard configurations. This innovation addresses software limitations without requiring new hardware. Professor Youjip Won led this groundbreaking research.
