GORDON: AN IMPROVED
ARCHITECTURE FOR DATA-INTENSIVE
APPLICATIONS
...................................................................................................................................................................................................................
GORDON IS A SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE FOR DATA-CENTRIC APPLICATIONS COMBINING
LOW-POWER PROCESSORS, FLASH MEMORY, AND DATA-CENTRIC PROGRAMMING
SYSTEMS TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY FOR DATA-CENTRIC APPLICATIONS.
THE ARTICLE EXPLORES THE GORDON DESIGN SPACE AND THE DESIGN OF A SPECIALIZED
FLASH TRANSLATION LAYER. GORDON SYSTEMS CAN OUTPERFORM DISK-BASED
CLUSTERS BY 1.5Â AND DELIVER 2.5Â MORE PERFORMANCE PER WATT.
