Durable Write Cache in Flash Memory SSD for Relational and NoSQL Databases

Summary: Introduces DuraSSD, a flash memory SSD with tantalum-capacitor durable cache for atomic page writes in relational and NoSQL OLTP. First to show durable cache on flash yields an order-of-magnitude transaction throughput gain with minimal cost (~1%), reducing write stalls and tail latency.
