Background: Dinoflagellates are taxonomically diverse and ecologically important phytoplankton that are ubiquitously present in marine and freshwater environments. Mostly photosynthetic, dinoflagellates provide the basis of aquatic primary production; most taxa are free-living, while some can form symbiotic and parasitic associations with other organisms. However, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that underpin the adaptation of these organisms to diverse ecological niches is limited by the scarce availability of genomic data, partly due to their large genome sizes estimated up to 250 Gbp. Currently available dinoflagellate genome data are restricted to Symbiodiniaceae (particularly symbionts of reef-building corals) and parasitic lineages, from taxamore »

NAND flash-based Solid State Devices (SSDs) offer the desirable features of high performance, energy efficiency, and fast growing capacity. Thus, the use of SSDs is increasing in distributed storage systems. A key obstacle in this context is that the natural unbalance in distributed I/O workloads can result in wear imbalance across the SSDs in a distributed setting. This, in turn can have significant impact on the reliability, performance, and lifetime of the storage deployment. Extant load balancers for storage systems do not consider SSD wear imbalance when placing data, as the main design goal of such balancers is to extractmore »
