BlueCache: A Scalable Distributed Flash-based Key-value Store

Summary: BlueCache is a distributed flash-backed KVS implementing the entire data path, including flash control, in hardware with a scalable inter-controller interconnect. It achieves 4.18× software throughput at 25× lower power and can outperform DRAM caches when read misses exceed 7.4%. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
