SUMMARY:Jun’s Paper Appears on 25-year Retrospective Edition of ISCA’23
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Sang-Woo Jun explores the possibility of improving system efficient without sacrificing performance in his co-authored paper “GraFBoost: Using Accelerated Flash Storage for External Graph Analytics.” His paper from five years ago explained that using a solid-state drive instead of dynamic RAM for I/O intensive graph analytics can cut cost and power usage by four fold without significant loss of performance. \nFor his extraordinary discovery\, Prof. Jun’s work was selected as one of the 98 papers to appear on the 25-year retrospective edition of the International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA 2023). \n
