Paper Title: Designing Reliable Flash Storage Systems

Paper Abstract: Achieving the highest reliability in flash storage has many aspects. Implementing an error correction algorithm capable of soft-decoding and with a guaranteed error floor is only one issue. End-to-end datapath protection, SRAM ECC, and continuous calibration of the readout levels of the memory cells during operation are just as crucial. The firmware responsible for all flash management tasks must balance the wear and perform scan reads of all the stored data. Designers must take a holistic approach to achieving the lowest possible error rates.
