Dear Chenhao and Duo,
Thank you for your continued help throughout this process.
TAPS Support has completed the proof generation for both papers below,
with the co-author email addresses suppressed as we had requested:
- Paper #11 (hotstorage26-3): The Host Is Not Idle: Computational
SSDs for Host-Free Checkpointing in Multimodal LLM Training
- Paper #23 (hotstorage26-4): GraceSSD: Per-File Reliability Hints
for Error-Tolerant Machine Learning Storage
We have reviewed the corrected proofs and approved the final version for
both papers in TAPS.
Please let us know if anything further is needed from our side.
Otherwise, thank you again for your patience and support.
Best Regards,
Seungkwan Kang
