system (OS) management: request schedul-ing, data placement, failure management, and power conservation. Straightforward adaptations of exist-ing disk request scheduling algorithms are found to be appropriate for MEMS-based storage devices. A new bipartite data placement scheme is shown to better match

Using MEMS-based storage devices in computer systems

by Steven W. Schlosser , 2004
"... MEMS-based storage is an interesting new technology that promises to bring fast, non-volatile, mass data storage to computer systems. MEMS-based storage devices (MEMStores) themselves consist of several thousand read/write tips, analogous to the read/write heads of a disk drive, which read and write ..."

"... MEMS-based storage has interesting access parallelism features. Specifically, subsets of a MEMStore’s thousands of tips can be used in parallel, and the particular subset can be dynamically chosen. This paper describes how such access parallelism can be exposed to system software, with minimal chang ..."
