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.
