Master Thesis, Internship

Internship or Master Thesis on NVMe Computational Storage: Revising the Computational Offloading

Project description

Since NVMe 2.1 (Aug 2024), the Computational Command Set (CCS) specification has been ratified in the NVMe 2.1 specification. With that now there is a push for a standardized approach towards program offloading in NVMe devices. However with its new API and the nature of offload type - there is uncertainty regarding what programs, workflows can benefit from such offloading capability. We are interested in the following research questions:

  1. Are there specific domains of applications that have particular affinity towards computational offloading as offered by the NVMe CCS?
  2. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in building out-of-core graph processing systems. Can out-of-core graph processing systems benefit from the NVMe CCS specification?
  3. Design and implement a simulator and performance reasoning model for graph offloading: The goal is to identify various opportunities on how we can develop SSDs, storage stacks, and graph processing frameworks to deliver end-to-end performance gains. Hence, we would like to answer “what-if” questions like: What if SSD reads were 10x faster? What is the impact of graph operator offloading to SSD?

Qualifications:

  • Enrolled or in possession of a Master's degree in computer science with a keen interest in data storage research, cloud computing and performance engineering.
  • Excellent coding skills: Familiarity with Linux environments and software development tools (git/GitHub, IDEs, gcc, gdb, QEMU, virtual machine and containers etc.).
  • High creativity and outstanding problem-solving ability.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with systems programming and internals (kernel, memory management, hardware, CPU)
  • Experience with data storage and NVMe storage internals and specification
  • Experience in machine learning or cloud
  • Experience with performance engineering tools (perf, fio, ebpf)
  • Excellent oral and written English with good presentation skills.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and excellent written and verbal communication.
