Abstract

Recently, flash memory is widely used in various embedded applications since it has many advantages in terms of non-volatility, fast access speed, shock resistance, and low power consumption. However, it requires a software layer called FTL(Flash Translation Layer) due to its hardware characteristics. We present a new FTL algorithm named LSTAFF(Large State Transition Applied Fast Flash Translation Layer) which is designed for large block flash memory. The presented LSTAFF is adjusted to flash memory with pages which are larger than operating system data sector sizes and we provide performance results based on our implementation of LSTAFF and previous FTL algorithms using a flash simulator.
