  KVell: the Design and Implementation of a Fast Persistent Key-Value Store

The article talked about how the linux kernel just can't keep up, but what about databases or kv stores. Do the trade-offs those types of solutions still make sense for this type of hardware?

RocksDB, and LSM algorithms in general, seem to be created with the assumption that random block I/O is slow. It appears that, for modern hardware, that assumption no longer holds, and the software only slows things down [0].

FYI SPDK doesn't strictly require the IOMMU be enabled. See https://spdk.io/doc/system_configuration.html There's also a new experimental interrupt mode (not for everything) finding some valuable use cases in SPDK, see https://github.com/spdk/spdk/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md and feel free to jump on the SPDK slack channel or email list for more info on either of these https://spdk.io/community/
