Wear Leveling for PCM Using Hot Data Identification
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phase change memory (PCM) is the best candidate device among next generation random access memory technologies. PCM has a potential to replace Flash memory due to non-volatility and in-place programmability, and low power consumption. Even though lifetime of PCM is longer than flash memory, wear leveling is needed because of non-uniformity of storage workload or malicious attack. In this paper, we propose a novel wear leveling algorithm for PCM as storage. Proposed algorithm extended the lifetime maximum 16 times and average 14 times in comparison to Segment Swapping algorithm.

Phase Change Memory (PCM) may become a viable alternative for the design of main memory systems in the next few years. However PCM suffers from limited write endurance. Therefore future adoption of PCM as a technology for main memory will depend on the availability of practical solutions for wear leveling that avoids uneven usage especially in the presence of potentially malicious users. First ...
متن کاملHot and Cold Data Identification for Flash Memory Using Multiple Bloom Filters
Abstract—In flash memory, hot data identification has a critical impact on its performance (due to a garbage collection) as well as its lifespan (due to a wear leveling). Although it is an issue of paramount importance in flash memory, little investigation has been made. Moreover, all existing schemes focus almost exclusively on a frequency viewpoint. However, recency also must be considered eq...

Hot data identification can be applied to a variety of fields. Particularly in flash memory, it has a critical impact on its performance (due to garbage collection) as well as its lifespan (due to wear leveling). Although this is an issue of paramount importance in flash memory, it is the least investigated one. Moreover, all existing schemes focus only or mainly on a frequency viewpoint. Howev...

Traditional memory systems based on memory technologies such as DRAM are fast approaching their cost and power limits. Alternative memory technologies such as Phase Change Memory (PCM) are being widely researched as a scalable, costand power-efficient alternative for DRAM. However, a PCM memory cell has a limited endurance of 10− 10 writes, resulting in an ideal lifetime of only a few years whi...
متن کاملStatistical Wear Leveling for PCM: Protecting Against the Worst Case Without Hurting the Common Case
Phase change memory (PCM) is emerging as a lead alternative to DRAM due to its good combination of speed, density, energy, and reliability. However, PCM can endure far fewer overwrites than DRAM before wearing out. PCM is susceptible to malicious or accidental overwrites which can wear out a frame in a few hundreds of seconds. Previous papers have proposed to randomize periodically the address-...
