Breaking Down Memory Walls: Adaptive Memory Management in LSM-based Storage Systems
Summary: Adaptive memory management for LSM storage breaks memory walls across components and the write-memory–buffer-cache boundary. Partitioned memory with flush policies reduces write costs; a tuner balances write memory and cache, evaluated in AsterixDB (YCSB, TPC-C). (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
