In this paper, we propose PDRAM, a novel energy efficient main memory architecture based
on phase change random access memory (PRAM) and DRAM. The paper explores the …

With the decreasing price of flash memory, systems will increasingly use solid-state storage
for virtual-memory paging rather than disks. FlashVM is a system architecture and a core …

Flash memory is a non-volatile memory which can be electrically erased and
reprogrammed. Its major advantages such as small physical size, no mechanical …

Dynamic random access memories (DRAMs) and flash memories experience performance
degradation and high manufacturing costs in nano-size scaling; harbingers of physical …

The commercial release of byte-addressable persistent memories (PMs) is imminent.
Unfortunately, these devices suffer from limited write endurance—without any wear …

This paper proposes a safe copy-back program operation in a NAND flash memory, which is
targeting digital forensics for a variety of reasons. Due to the background management …

Merging technique is widely adopted by I/O schedulers to maximize system I/O throughput.
However, I/O merging could increase the latency of individual I/O, thus incurring prolonged …

Caching is an important optimization in search engine architectures. Existing caching
techniques for search engine optimization are mostly biased towards the reduction of …

The use of NAND flash memory is increasing in consumer electronics. Because an out-of-
place update scheme is used to address the erase-before-write hardware constraint in …

Because NAND flash memory provides the out-of-place update scheme to address its erase-
before-write hardware constraint, garbage collection policy is included in the flash-aware file …
