High-efficient superblock flash translation layer for NAND flash controller
Flash controller is the core hardware embedded in today's mobile device storage, and the flash translation layer (FTL) is the key system of controller. This Letter proposes a high-efficient superblock FTL (HSPB) to satisfy the demand of large media files and application files storage, which implements the cross-block sequential writing strategy and the shared cached mapping table scheme. Test results show that HSPB reduces the time and power consumption by 7–30% in seq/random write and gains up to 60% improvement in sequential/random read compared to other FTLs.
