Block Cleaning Process in Flash Memory

چکیده
Flash memory is a non-volatile storage device that can retain its contents when the power is switched off. Generally, it is a form of an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) that offers several excellent features such as less noise, solid-state reliability, lower power consumption, smaller size, light weight, and higher shock resistant [1 – 5]. Flash memory acts as a slim and compact storage device. It’s main applications are such as compact flash (CF), secured digital (SD), and personal computer memory card international association (PCMCIA) cards, for storage and data transfer in most portable electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, digital cameras, personal digital assistants (PDAs), portable media players (PMPs), gobal positioning system receivers (GPS), just to name a few.

Cleaning Process with Efficient Allocation Scheme Improves Flash Memory Performance
Flash memory is a non-volatile storage device that offers lots of superiority features. However, it has two characteristics namely: 1) Out-place updating and 2) Cleaning process that affects its performance as an efficient storage sub-system. Both characteristics influence the access time requirement in enabling the continuity of data storing and updating. In this paper, we propose an efficient...
متن کاملReal-Time Access Guarantees for NAND Flash Using Partial Block Cleaning
Increasing use of NAND flash in newer application domains has been possible due to lowering cost per GB, consumer demands for storage and advantages of NAND flash over traditional disks. However, NAND flash has its idiosyncrasies resulting in asymmetric read/write times due to garbage collection and wear leveling requirements. Such asymmetric (non-deterministic) read/write times poses a challen...
متن کاملAMI: An Advanced Endurance Management Technique for Flash Memory Storage Systems
Flash memory is small size, lightweight, shock-resistant, nonvolatile, and consumes little power. Flash memory therefore shows promise for use in storage devices for consumer electronics, mobile computers, wireless devices and embedded systems. However, flash memory cannot be overwritten unless erased in advance. Erase operations are slow that usually decrease system performance and consume pow...

Flash memory shows promise for use in storage devices for mobile computers. However, flash memory cannot be overwritten unless erased in advance. Erase operations are slow that usually decrease system performance, and consume power. For power conservation, better system performance, and longer flash memory lifetime, system support for erasure management is necessary. In this report, a non-updat...
