Welcome

The Intelligent Storage Consortium, within the University of Minnesota’s Digital Technology Center, is one of the premier storage research centers in the country. The interdisciplinary center draws many faculty and students mainly from Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. DISC brings together University of Minnesota researchers and representatives of the storage and networking industry and public sector agencies — all of whom share an interest in the future of intelligent storage.

Research Overview

DISC has been created to provide investigation into the research and development issues of Intelligent (object-based) Storage Systems, including architectures that implement them and applications that use them.

  • 5/22/2008 — Dean Klein, Micron Vice President of Memory System Development, pictured to the right as he hands over four new Micron 32GB NAND Flash solid state disk drives to Computer Science and Engineering Professors David DU and Mohamed Mokbel. Ph.D. student Biplob Debnath is receiving the drives from Dean.

    The drives will be used in a variety of research projects including HSM efficiency, performance optimization of new write buffer cache algorithms and the effects of Lazy Updates on DBMS throughput.

    Dean was attending the DISC Intelligent Storage Workshop 2008 where solid state storage was a topic of extensive discussion.
