BetrFS is a new file system that outperforms conventional file systems by orders of magnitude on several fundamental operations, such as random writes, recursive directory traversals, and metadata updates, while matching them on other operations, such as sequential I/O, file and directory renames, and deletions. BetrFS overcomes the classic trade-off between random-write performance and sequential-scan performance by using new "write-optimized" data structures. This talk explains how BetrFS's design overcomes multiple file-system design trade-offs and how it exploits the performance strengths of write-optimized data structures.

One of the major barriers to adoption of persistent memory is preparing applications to make use of it's direct access capabilities. This presentation discusses a new user space file system for persistent memory and how it breaks these barriers. The presentation introduces the key elements to consider for a user space persistent memory file system and discuss the internals of this new file system. The discussion concludes with a presentation of current status and performance of this new persistent memory file system. Learning Objectives: 1) Discussion of current barriers to persistent memory adoption; 2) Introduce how this new file system breaks down the barriers to adoption of persistent memory; 3) Introduce the SW internals of the this file system; 4) Present performance statistics and discussion of why this file system out-performs conventional, kernel based file systems.
