A survey of flash memory design and implementation of database in flash memory

Abstract

Flash memory is getting more popularity for its non-volatility, shock resistance, no mechanical delay and random access. Increasing size of flash memory as well as decrease in price has strengthened the possibility of replacing hard disk in near future. In this survey paper we discussed about the technological constraints of flash memory and how these problems has been solved so far. This survey paper tells about all major steps to solve these problems. At the end of this paper we discuss about use of flash memory in various research, related with database implementation as well as DBMS in flash memory from very small device like sensors to enterprise application level.
