Analyzing the Performance of Spatial Indices on Flash Memories using a Flash Simulator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatial databases improve the spatial query processing by employing spatial indices. Due to the advantages of flash memories over magnetic disks like faster reads and writes, there is a special interest in managing spatial indices in these memories. However, many flash memories employ a Flash Translation Layer that does not provide open access to many important statistics, restricting the performance analysis of spatial indices. Flash simulators are promising tools to improve the performance analysis of spatial indices. In this paper, we analyze the performance of several distinct configurations of spatial indices by using a flash simulator and a real flash-based solid state drive. As a result, we provide correlations between these results to check the accuracy of a flash simulator in the spatial indexing context. In addition, we discuss the possibility of using a flash simulator as a first step for benchmarking spatial indices. That is, we check if the results provided by a flash simulator can be used to decrease the number of configurations to be evaluated in real flash memories, reducing the required time of an empirical analysis.

متن کاملFlash Memory Built-In Self-Test Using March-Like Algorithms
Flash memories are a type of non-volatile memory based on floating-gate transistors. The use of commodity and embedded flash memories are growing rapidly as we enter the system-on-chip (SOC) era. Conventional tests for flash memories are usually ad hoc—the test procedure is developed for a specific design. We propose improved March-like algorithms (i.e., March FT) for both bit-oriented and word...
متن کاملInvestigating the Use of Games and Flash Cards in Teaching Spatial and Temporal Prepositions to Iranian Pre-Intermediate EFL Learners
One of the most problematic areas for teachers and learners in English classrooms is prepositions. Two types of prepositions in English are spatial (space) and temporal (time) prepositions. Prepositions are words linking two entities and thereby specifying the relation of the two. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of games and flash cards in learning place and time prep...
