碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 資訊工程學研究所 === 96 === Flash memory products are more and more popular in daily life. With the innovations of flash memory production technology, the capacity is sure to get larger and larger; the price is sure to become lower and lower. In addition to being applied to storage, flash is now also used as cache to improve system performance, such as Intel Turbo Memory Technology. There is such a tendency in terms of not only personal computers but also embedded large-capacity flash memory in hand-held devices. This shows that flash memory will be not just storage, and it will be an important component in system. However, under the limitation of the design of Memory Technology Device(MTD) layer, there has not been a large-capacity NAND flash simulator in Linux until now. It is very inconvenient to research and develop related products. In this thesis, we propose a Disk-Based Extra Large NAND Flash Simulator to meet the need. In terms of experiments in access patterns of human daily behavior, this simulator has a good performance.
