In this paper, we propose a new logging and recovery scheme that is suited for the high-performance transaction processing system base on flash memory storage. The proposed scheme is designed by considering flash's I/O characteristic of asymmetric costs between page update/read operations. That is, we substitute the costly update operation with writing and real-time usage of snapshot log, which is for the page-level physical redo. From this, we can avoid costly rewriting of a dirty page when it is evicted form a buffering pool. while supporting efficient revery procedure. The proposed scheme would be not lucrative in the case of HDD-based system. However, the proposed scheme offers the performance advance sush as a reduced number of updates and the fast system recovery time, in the case of flash storage such as SSD (solid state drive). Because the proposed scheme can easily be applied to existing systems by saving our snapshot records and ordinary log records together, our scheme can be used for improving the performance of upcoming SSD-based database systems through a tiny modification to existing REDO algorithms.
