Book: Solid-State-Drives (SSDs) Modeling

Solid-State-Drives (SSDs) Modeling, Simulation Tools & Strategies is a new book (€95,19 eBook) written by Rino Micheloni.

This book presents a complete overview of SSD simulations tools available, including their pros and cons,g ives a detailed description of the most advanced simulator available in the literature ‘SSDExplorer’ and provides guidance on how to develop a simulation strategy of SSDs, based on the target parameter: bandwidth, IO/s, QoS.

Micheloni is fellow at Microsemi Corporation where he currently runs the non-volatile memory lab in Milan, Italy, with special focus on NAND flash. Prior to joining Microsemi, he was fellow at PMC-Sierra, working on NAND flash characterization, LDPC, and NAND signal processing as part of the team developing flash controllers for PCIe SSDs. Before that, he was with Integrated Device Technology as lead flash technologist, driving the architecture and design of the BCH engine in the world’s 1st PCIe NVMe SSD controller. Early in his career, he led flash design teams at STMicroelectronics, Hynix, and Infineon; during this time, he developed the industry’s first MLC NOR device with embedded ECC technology and the industry’s first MLC NAND with embedded BCH.

He is IEEE senior member, has co-authored more than 50 publications, and he holds 278 patents worldwide (including 124 US patents).

He has published the following books with Springer: 3D Flash Memories (2016), Inside Solid State Drives (2013), Inside NAND Flash Memories (2010), ECCs for Non-Volatile Memories (2008), Memories in Wireless Systems (2008), and VLSI-Design of Non-Volatile Memories (2005).
