[Abstract]

This paper presents a scalable page cache called ScaleCache for improving SSD scalability. Specifically, we first propose a concurrent data structure of page cache based on XArray (ccXArray) to enable access and update the page cache concurrently. Second, we introduce a direct page flush (dflush) which directly flushes pages to storage devices in a parallel and opportunistic manner. We implement ScaleCache with two techniques in the Linux kernel and evaluate it on a 64-core machine with eight NVMe SSDs. Our evaluations show that ScaleCache improves the performance of Linux file systems by up to 6.81X and 4.50X compared with the existing scheme and scalable scheme for multiple SSDs, respectively.
