Chun Liu
Chief Architect
Futurewei Technologies
Chun Liu is Chief Architect at Futurewei Technologies, focusing on the persistent memory and storage software stack. His work includes the persistent layer abstraction and design for both persistent memory and storage devices, research and development of indexing engine and transaction engines optimized for persistent memory, many of which are implemented in Huawei’s current storage products. Prior to joining Futurewei/Huawei in 2017, Chun worked on All Flash Arrays at Nimble Storage and Violin Memory, and microprocessor design in AMD. Chun received his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from Pennsylvania State University, and MS and BS in CSE from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Beyond Zoned Named Spaces – ZNSNLOG Bridging the Semantic Gap
When data processing engines are using more and more log semantics, it’s natural to extend Zoned Namespace to provide a native log interface by introduce variable size, byte append-able, named zones. Using the newly introduced ZNSNLOG interface, not only the storage device enables less write amplification/more log write performance, but more flexible and robust naming service. Given the trends towards a compute-storage disaggregation paradigm and more capable computational storage, ZNSNLOG extension enables more opportunities for near data processing.
