A High Performance Reconfigurable Architecture for Flash File Systems

Authors: Mir, Irfan, McEwan, Alistair A., Perrins, Neil J.

Abstract:

NAND flash memory is widely adopted as the primary storage medium in embedded systems. The design of the flash translation layer, and exploitation of parallel I/O architectures, are crucial in achieving high performance within a flash file system. In this paper we present our new FPGA based flash management framework using reconfigurable computing that supports high performance flash storage systems. Our implementation is in Verilog, and as such enables us to design a highly concurrent system at a hardware level in both the flash translation layer and the flash controller. Results demonstrate that implementing the flash translation layer and flash controller directly in hardware, by exploiting reconfigurable computing, permits us to exploit a highly concurrent architecture that leads to fast response times and throughput in terms of read/write operations.
