PA-LIRS: An Adaptive Page Replacement Algorithm for NAND Flash Memory

NAND flash memory is increasingly widely used as a storage medium due to its compact size, high reliability, low-power consumption, and high I/O speed. It is important to select a powerful and intelligent page replacement algorithm for NAND flash-based storage systems. However, the features of NAND flash, such as the asymmetric I/O costs and limited erasure lifetime, are not fully taken into account by traditional strategies. In order to address these existing shortcomings, this paper suggests a new page replacement algorithm, called probability-based adjustable algorithm onlow inter-reference recency set (PA-LIRS). PA-LIRS completely exploits the “recency” and “frequency” information simultaneously to make a replacement decision. PA-LIRS gives a greater probability to clean pages and a smaller probability to dirty pages when evict selection happens. In addition, this proposed algorithm dynamically adjusts the parameter based on the workload pattern to further improve the I/O performance of NAND flash memory. Through a series of comparative experiments on various types of synthetic traces, the results show that PA-LIRS outperforms the previous studies in most cases.

A 117-mm/sup 2/ 3.3-V only 128-Mb multilevel NAND flash memory for mass storage applications

For a quantum step in further cost reduction, the multilevel cell concept has been combined with the NAND flash memory. Key requirements of mass storage, low cost, and high serial access throughput have been achieved by sacrificing fast random access performance. This paper describes a 128-Mb multilevel NAND flash memory storing 2 b per cell. Multilevel storage is achieved through tight cell threshold voltage distribution of 0.4 V and is made practical by significantly reducing program disturbance by using a local self-boosting scheme. An intelligent page buffer enables cell-by-cell and state-by-state program and inhibit operations. A read throughput of 14.0 MB/s and a program throughput of 0.5 MB/s are achieved. The device has been fabricated with 0.4-/spl mu/m CMOS technology, resulting in a 117 mm/sup 2/ die size and a 1.1 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ effective cell size.

Intelligent page printing systems

Intelligent page printing systems cut across the boundaries of traditional printing applications, and open up new applications, such as ‘personal typesetting’. Such systems incorporate image processing and laser printing to allow users to assemble complex pages which can then be printed as such.
