چکیده
die and beyond with MLC (two bit per cell) technology with 50nm and 40nm process nodes. Despite this impressive growth of bit density, program performance of NAND Flash has remained in 10MB/s range. As consumer’s need for more digital contents grows, companies are paying more attention to improve program and read performance of NAND Flash devices to meet the consumer’s appetite for more bits and faster performance. Coupled with steep decline of price, race for more bits with less cost at higher performance has become more important to remain competitive in NAND Flash market.

An Efficient Dynamic Hash Index Structure for NAND Flash Memory
We propose an efficient dynamic hash index structure suitable for a NAND flash memory environment. Since write operations incur significant overhead in NAND flash memory, our design of index structure focuses on minimizing the number of write operations for hash index updates. Through a set of extensive experiments, we show the effectiveness of the proposed hash index structure in a NAND flash ...
متن کاملMLC NAND Flash memory: Aging effect and chip/channel emulation
This work presents an FPGA-based emulator that can be used for emulating NAND Flash memories, either at the chip or at the channel level, along with the effect of aging on their performance. The emulator is based on a reconfigurable hardware-software architecture, which enables accurate representation of various NAND Flash technologies, focusing especially on MLC cases. The presented architectu...

متن کاملA Mixed Flash Translation Layer Structure for SLC-MLC Combined Flash Memory System
NAND flash memory is a nonvolatile storage that is often used for its advantages of small size, non-mechanical, shock resistance, and low power consumption. With the recent drop in its price, NAND flash memory is on the verge of taking place of hard disk drive. Depending on the number of bits stored in a single cell, flash memory can be divided into SLC (single-level cell) NAND and MLC (multi-l...
