    Abstract: Methods and systems for adaptive mapping for data compression on a storage device is provided. The method includes determining a data request pattern of a workload, determining whether to use at least one of a segment mapping mode or a hash mapping mode for mapping the workload, dividing a space on the storage device into a plurality of defrag units for storing data, and assigning the plurality of defrag units as being at least one of a segment defrag unit or a hash defrag unit. The method also includes when the data request pattern is for the segment mapping mode, storing the data on at least one of the plurality of defrag units assigned as the segment defrag unit, and when the data request pattern is for the hash mapping mode, storing the data on at least one of the plurality of defrag units assigned as the hash defrag unit.

    Abstract: A flat hash table includes a plurality of entries, and each entry includes a hash function index and a usage bitmap. A method for block device level compression mapping using the flat hash table includes compressing uncompressed data to compressed data, retrieving an entry of the flat hash table using an uncompressed block address of the uncompressed data, determining a compressed block address of the compressed data by executing at least one hash function and by determining a hash function in the at least one hash function for mapping the uncompressed block address to the compressed block address that corresponds to a space in a block storage device, storing the compressed data to the space that corresponds to the compressed block address, and updating the hash function index of the entry of the flat hash table with an index indicative of the hash function.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for accessing block storage devices are provided. In particular, a computing device may receive (204) a write request including an uncompressed data and an uncompressed block address associated with the uncompressed data, generate (206) compressed data by compressing the uncompressed data, determine (208) a plurality of mapping candidates of compressed data blocks in the block storage devices based on the uncompressed block address, select a compressed data block from the plurality of mapping candidates that has sufficient capacity to store the compressed data, write the compressed data to the selected compressed data block, update metadata of the selected compressed data block to link the uncompressed block address to a compressed block address of the selected compressed data block, and write the selected compressed data block back to a respective block storage device of the block storage devices.

    Abstract: Described are examples for storing data on a storage device, including storing (702), in a live write stream cache, one or more logical blocks, LBs, corresponding to a data segment, writing (704), for each LB in the data segment, a cache element of a cache entry that points to the LB in the live write stream cache, where the cache entry includes multiple cache elements corresponding to the multiple LBs of the data segment, writing (706), for the cache entry, a table entry in a mapping table that points to the cache entry, and when a storage policy is triggered for the cache entry, writing (710) the multiple LBs, pointed to by each cache element of the cache entry, to a stream for storing as contiguous LBs on the storage device, and updating (712) the table entry to point to a physical address of a first LB of the contiguous LBs on the storage device.
