RESEARCH   Flash Memory Application

 

 

 

SSD (Solid-State Disk) in PC environment
Research goals
- Paying attention to the interaction between an SSD and PC rather than an SSD itself, modeling for Hi-performance PC
- DDR SDRAM Interface with SSD ; For sufficient Interface bandwidth
- Elimination of South-bridge path ; For reduction of arbitration overhead Direct path between main memory and
  SSD - For concurrent storage access

SSD architecture exploration
Research goals
- Integration of development environment between an SSD (HW) and FTL algorithm (SW)
  Fast searching an optimized SSD architecture

FTL exploration and Analytical modeling method
- Exploration of an SSD and a variety of FTLs in cycle accurate level
- Analytical SSD modeling ; Exploration for an optimized SSD within widespread design parameters faster than TLM
