FEMU
FEMU is an NVMe SSD emulation platform used in this corpus to prototype or evaluate storage-management ideas under controllable device behavior.
是什么
FEMU provides a software testbed for experiments that would be difficult, expensive, or insufficiently observable on a production SSD. Papers can vary device parameters, inspect host/device interactions, and evaluate algorithms before hardware deployment.
An emulation result is evidence about the modeled behavior, not proof of production-device behavior. Firmware policies, media variability, queueing, wear, and controller implementation can change the conclusion on real hardware.
关键观察 / 隐含假设
- 观察：controlled emulation helps isolate a storage mechanism from hardware noise. Cylon-FAST26 and WARP-FAST26 use such evaluation contexts for storage-path analysis.
- 假设：the chosen device model preserves the bottleneck relevant to the system claim. Xerxes-FAST26 illustrates why emulator assumptions and real-device validation must be distinguished.
