Every bit of information in a storage or memory device is bound by a multitude of
performance specifications, and is subject to a variety of reliability impediments. At the other …

Flash memories have become a significant storage technology. However, they have various
types of error mechanisms, which are drastically different from traditional communication …

Motivated by the needs to enhance the performance of garbage collection in low-cost flash
storage devices, we propose a victim block selection design to efficiently identify the blocks …

A network switch routes data packets between its multiple input and output ports. Packets
from input ports are stored upon arrival in a switch fabric comprising multiple memory banks …

This paper constructs WOM codes that combine rewriting and error correction for mitigating
the reliability and the endurance problems in flash memory. We consider a rewriting model …

A new type of analog error-correcting codes (Analog ECCs) has been proposed by Roth
recently. The codes can correct errors of unlimited magnitudes even though the codeword is …

Current flash memory technology is focused on cost minimization of the stored capacity.
However, the resulting approach supports a relatively small number of write-erase cycles …

The evaluation of error correction code (ECC) for NAND flash memory is increasingly
complicated by the increasing bit error rate in memory. The concept of error-free information …

We construct error-correcting write-once memory (WOM) codes that guarantee correction of
any specified number of errors in q-level memories. The constructions use suitably designed …
