Configuration Studies

Emperical studies of configurations of real-world systems

• Configurations of large-scale storage systems
  • Revisiting Erasure Codes: A Configuration Perspective (HotStorage'24)
• Configurations of local storage stack (file systems, etc.)
  • ConfD: Analyzing Configuration Dependencies of File Systems for Fun and Profit (FAST'23)
• Configurations of databases
  • A Study of Database Performance Sensitivity to Experiment Settings (VLDB'22)

Configuration Tuning

• Tuning local storage stack (file systems, etc.)
  • Carver: Finding Important Parameters for Storage System Tuning (FAST'20)
  • Towards Better Understanding of Black-box Auto-Tuning: A Comparative Analysis for Storage Systems (ATC'18)
• Tuning databases/KV stores
  • Can Modern LLMs Tune and Configure LSM-based Key-Value Stores? (HotStorage'24)
