Spitfire: A Three-Tier Buffer Manager for Volatile and Non-Volatile Memory

Summary: Spitfire is a multi-threaded three-tier buffer manager for DRAM, NVM, and SSD, evaluated on real hardware for concurrent workloads. It provides a general framework for multi-tier data migration and an ML-based adaptor that tailors decisions to device characteristics and workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
