Flash Memory System

1. Research goal

- Provides the maximum capacity of MLC flash memory

 

- Provides the performance and endurance close to SLC flash memory

 


 

2. Our approaches

- Exploit a flexible cell programming of MLC flash memory

 

- Write data into SLC region and migrates them to MLC region using idle time

 

- Adjust the amount of data to be written to SLC region considering performance and lifetime
