Chundong was invited to speak at a forum jointly hosted by CCF YOCSEF (Shanghai) and Shanghai Computer Society. Chundong's talk was about exploring architectural implications Toast labmates found in CPU cache, memory, and SSD to conduct hardware/software co-design and in turn boost performance for key-value (KV) stores built on top of LSM-tree and B+-tree.

CCF YOCSEF stands for Young Computer Scientists & Engineers Forum. It provides a good platform for China's and international young talents to express and discuss their opinions with respect to the development of computing.
