IEEE Xplore has published, in TENCON 2018 – 2018 IEEE Region 10 Conference proceedings, an article written by Hassan Arafat, Ryohei Shimizu, and Koh Johguchi, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Shinshu University, Nagano, Japan.

Abstract: “With the constant demand for better storage, various storage class memory (SCM) technologies have emerged as a promising replacement for traditional NAND flash storages, offering higher speeds and reliability. However, current SCMs have lower densities when compared to NAND flash memories. Thus, hybrid solid-state-drive is proposed to capitalize on the strengths of each memory type. This paper explores the design of such a device and the control algorithms used, and the effects of various algorithms on the performance of this device under various workloads.“
