NAND flash memory-based solid-state disks (SSDs) are becoming popular as the storage
media in domains ranging from mobile laptops to enterprise-scale storage systems due to a …

Flash memory-based non-volatile cache (NVC) is emerging as an effective solution for
enhancing both the performances and the energy consumptions of storage systems. In order …

The multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory technology enables multiple bits of
information to be stored on a single cell, thus making it possible to increase the density of …

Multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory has lower bit cost compared to single-level cell (SLC)
flash memory. However, there are several obstacles to the wide use of MLC flash memory …

Uncertainty and conflicting stakeholders' objectives make many requirements and
architecture decisions particularly hard. Quantitative probabilistic models allow software …

We propose a novel flash memory management software for SLC/MLC combined flash
memories which are recently introduced to provide flexible and cost-efficient embedded …

This paper presents the design of a NAND flash based solid state disk (SSD), which can
support various storage access patterns commonly observed in a PC environment. It is …

The multi-level cell (MLC) NAND flash memory technology enables multiple bits of
information to be stored in a memory cell, thus making it possible to increase the density of …

There is disclosed a technique for use in managing multi granularity flash translation layers
in solid state drives. An SSD comprising a flash translation layer (FTL) table and flash …

Since an MLC (multi-level cell) can be used in an SLC (single-level cell) mode, an MLC-
based flash SSD typically uses a fixed small portion (called log partition) in the SLC mode to …
