Paper Category: SSD Storage and Storage Class Memory

The growth of mission-critical data in autonomous systems, AI clusters, and space exploration creates a fundamental crisis: modern applications are crippled by tail latency—the rare, slow storage operation (often <0.1%) that bottlenecks distributed systems. Standard NAND flash suffers from inconsistent latencies, unpredictable Garbage Collection (GC) pauses, and read/write interference. While Storage Class Memory (SCM) approximates…
