ScaleStore: A Fast and Cost-Efficient Storage Engine using DRAM, NVMe, and RDMA

Summary: ScaleStore uses DRAM caching, NVMe, and RDMA to expose a distributed memory across cluster nodes. A dynamic caching policy keeps hot data in RAM and cold data on NVMe with strong consistency, delivering high performance for large workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
