We’re excited to announce that our paper, “Does Linux Provide Performance Isolation for NVMe SSDs? Configuring cgroups for I/O Control in the NVMe Era,” has been nominated for a Best Paper Award at IISWC 2025. 🏆 This work is led by Krijn Doekemeijer (PhD student at VU Amsterdam). Congratulations Krijn!
The work systematically evaluates Linux cgroups for isolating performance across shared NVMe SSDs and introduces isol-bench, a benchmark for measuring storage performance isolation. Our results show that io.cost provides the strongest isolation across the mechanisms we study, while also revealing important trade-offs in latency and utilization.
