Parity-Stream Separation and SLC/MLC Convertible Programming for Life Span and Performance Improvement of SSD RAIDs
To reduce the performance and lifespan loss caused by the partial-stripe writes in SSD RAIDs, we propose two schemes: parity-stream separation and SLC/MLC convertible programming. Parity-stream separation splits the parity block stream from the data block stream to decrease valid page copy during garbage collection. In the convertible programming scheme, the flash memory blocks that are allocat...
متن کاملFlexFS: A Flexible Flash File System for MLC NAND Flash Memory
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 the memory without increasing the die size. For most MLC flash memories, each cell can be programmed as a single-level cell or a multi-level cell during runtime. Therefore, it has a potential to achieve both the high perfo...
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...
متن کاملReducing Solid-State Storage Device Write Stress through Opportunistic In-place Delta Compression
Inside modern SSDs, a small portion of MLC/TLC NAND flash memory blocks operate in SLC-mode to serve as write buffer/cache and/or store hot data. These SLC-mode blocks absorb a large percentage of write operations. To balance memory wear-out, such MLC/TLC-to-SLC configuration rotates among all the memory blocks inside SSDs. This paper presents a simple yet effective design approach to reduce wr...
متن کاملEfficient Use of Low Cost SSDs for Cost Effective Solid State Caches
Conventional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) and emerging Solid State Drives (SSDs) each has strengths and limitations in terms of latency, price, and lifetime. To mitigate the limitations and amplify their advantages, the Solid State Cache (SSCs), which use flash based SSD as a data cache, have been introduced in previous studies [4, 5]. These studies have focused only on improving the performance and...
