When Database Meets New Storage Devices: Understanding and Exposing Performance Mismatches via Configurations

Summary: Systematic empirical study of six DBMSs exposing performance mismatches on NVMe SSDs caused by I/O size, parallelism, and sequentiality; 17 issues reported, 15 confirmed. Introduce a configuration-driven detection framework achieving ~100x speedup over exhaustive knob testing while retaining effectiveness. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
