Flash Memory Integration

Flash Memory Integration: Performance and Energy Issues describes flash memory internal integration into systems and the impact of the different components involved in performance and energy consumption from a system's point-of -view. This book includes an exhaustive study on the state-of-the-art in the field, along with experiments that illustrate the different concepts that are presented. Flash memories are now used more and more in storage systems, whatever the domain. In embedded systems, we find them in consumer electronic devices and wearables, whereas in big storage data centers, they are increasingly essential for both performance and energy properties. The objective of this book is to describe the integration of those memories into systems and underline the impact of the different components on both performance and energy properties, paying special attention to the performance and energy consumption evaluation of these storage systems. Ideal for computer scientists, featuring low level details to concentrate on system issuesTackles flash memory aspects while spanning domains such as embedded systems and HPCContains an exhaustive set of experimental results conducted in the Lab-STICC laboratoryProvides details on methodologies to perform performance and energy measurements on flash storage systems
