Conquest is a disk/persistent-RAM hybrid file system that is incrementally deployable and realizes most of the benefits of cheaply abundant persistent RAM. Conquest consists of two specialized and simplified data paths for in-core and on-disk storage and outperforms popular disk-based file systems by 43% to 97%.
