Abstract

Novel flash codes with small average write deficiency are proposed. A flash code is a coding scheme for avoiding the wearing of cells in flash memory. One approach to develop flash codes with large parameters is to make use of slices which are small groups of cells. Preliminary study shows that using small slices brings several favorable characteristics, but naive use of small slices induces a certain overhead. In this study, a new structure which is called a cluster is devised to develop a good slice-based flash code. Two different slice encoding schemes are used in a cluster, which decreases the overhead of using small slices while retaining its advantage. The proposed flash codes show much smaller write deficiency compared to another slice-based flash code.
