Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel and efficient flash translation layer scheme called BLTF: Block Link-Table FTL. In this proposed scheme, all blocks can be used for servicing update requests, so updates operation can be performed on any of the physical blocks, through uniting log blocks and physical blocks, it can avoid uneven erasing and low block utilization. The invalid blocks, in BLTF scheme, could be reclaimed properly and intensively, it can avoid merging log blocks with physical blocks. At last, the BLTF is tested by simulation, which demonstrates the BLTF can effectively solve data storage problems. Through comparison with other algorithms, we can know that the proposed BLTF greatly prolongs service life of flash devices and improves efficiency of blocks erasing operation.
