Description of Research Group:Information Storage and Optical Display Division, Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) operated by the Huazhong University of Science and Technology, is also the data storage system key laboratory of the Ministry of Education of China and the Education Ministry’s Engineering Research Center for Data Storage Systems and Technology. We have over 50 faculty members including 2 Chang Jiang Chair scholars, 2 Chang Jiang scholars, and 2 “Talent of the New Century” scholars. Together with over 300 Ph.D. and MS students, our lab is the largest and the first class research institution in China.
With over 40 years of history in data storage research since 1974, our lab is the nation’s key research and educational center in system and architecture area, and is listed as “211” and “985” major institute in the subject area of computer system architecture.
Our laboratory’s main research concentration includes but not limited to:
1.Parallel data storage system, networked storage, and distributed storage technologies.
2.Cloud storage and its key technologies including storage virtualization, data de-duplication etc.
3.High density magnetic recording theory, system and hard disk media technologies including next generation high density/high speed storage technologies including shingled write disk (SWD) and electro-optical memory etc.
4.High reliability and availability data storage focusing on data protection and disaster recovery.
5.Non-Volatile Memory technologies such as flash, PCRAM, RRAM etc.
6.Solid state storage technologies including PCRAM and flash memory solid-state storage integration technology, high-speed solid-state disk technology.
Recent accomplishments of our lab include winning over 40 research contracts and grants such as 973, 863, NSFC Key projects, regular projects, etc. The lab has produced many high quality graduate students, received many national/provincial research awards, entered to the finalist of international storage challeng...
