uFLIP: Understanding Flash IO Patterns

Summary: Introduces uFLIP, a benchmark and methodology to quantify flash IO patterns (temporal/spatial distributions) and their response times. Reports measurements on 11 flash devices and derives practical design hints for DB systems about which IOs to favor or avoid. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
