Tree Indexing on Solid State Drives

Summary: FD-tree adapts logarithmic-method trees and fractional cascading to SSD write asymmetry: a small B+-tree absorbs random updates, then merges them into sequentially written sorted runs. It achieves O(log_B n) sequential-update and random-search I/Os, outperforming competing B+-tree variants overall. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
