Thanks Jennifer and hi Sage! I hope you are doing well, and everyone else too :). I had wanted to send a note last week but I was just getting back from vacation, it unfortunately took me a little longer to get caught up than anticipated so apologies on my delay. 

I had reviewed the schedule with Jennifer and I do have a few questions/items that I wanted to run by you all. Those are below:
  1. Sage, will you be doing any kind of introductory keynote like you did last year for for 15-20 mins (or, it could be shorter due to other keynotes)
  2. We already have a few confirmed sponsor keynotes: Softiron (15 minutes), XSKY (8 minutes) and Western Digital (8 minutes) - do know which days you want them placed on? 
  3. I believe Jennifer mentioned you are also thinking that Intel and Suse will also come in as sponsors. Do you know when you would want them to speak? If we can at least know when you want them to speak, we can hold those on the schedule. 

I also had originally had that slot for a sponsor session on the schedule but I now realize, after further reviewing the perspective, that sponsors only get keynotes or a meal session - but I believe at this time Jennifer had put that missing session into the schedule. Jennifer, if not, please go ahead and do so as we do not need to hold that slot. 

We can definitely look into creative timing to fit the keynotes, and we look forward to hearing back from you. 

Thank you,
Jillian

Hi Sage,

Yes, I will update Sched and I am hoping to go over the schedule with Jill Hall (cc'd here) later today, on how to creatively fit all the keynotes in.

Hi Jennifer,

Can you update sched with the following invite keynote for Thursday
morning?  I think a 20m slot?

BTW I think we're going to need to get creative to fit in all of the
keynote slots (sponsored and otherwise)... maybe reduce the time intervals
later in the day or something.  :/

Title: The impact of fast storage on the distributed file system

With the introduction of the SSD and its wide spread use these days, the
world of storage is changing with far reaching effect on operating
systems, computer architecture and distributed file system. While confined
within the SATA interface, the effect was minimal. However, the NVMe
interface has changed everything upside down.

Traditionally, the storage device has been a black box. The interface
cleanly separated the applications and operating systems from the inner
workings of the storage device, making everything simple and clear.
However, the sudden increase in speed and parallelism as well as the
unique physical characteristics of the storage devices make it necessary
to somehow coordinate the actions between the storage device and the
system software.

In this talk, I will look at the actual changes of the storage device
itself and its impact on the storage stack of the operating systems and
how this change would affect the distributed files systems, especially
Ceph.
