Abstract

We present first steps in the construction of formal models of NAND Flash memory, based on a recently emerged open standard for such devices. The model is at a level of abstraction that captures the internal architecture of such a device, as well as the commands that are used to operate it. The model is intended as a key step in a plan to develop a verified filestore system, by providing a description of the hardware devices that would be used in it implementation.

A workload-aware flash translation layer enhancing performance and lifespan of TLC/SLC dual-mode flash memory in embedded systems

Similar to traditional NAND flash memory, triple-level cell (TLC) flash memory is used as secondary storage to meet the fast growing demands on storage capacity. TLC flash memory exhibits attractive features such as shock resistance, high density, low ...
Write-activity-aware nand flash memory management for pcm-based embedded systems
Next high performance and low power flash memory package structure

In general, NAND flash memory has advantages in low power consumption, storage capacity, and fast erase/write performance in contrast to NOR flash. But, main drawback of the NAND flash memory is the slow access time for random read operations. Therefore,...
