Exploiting parallelism in raw flash cards


Part of my thesis is about exploiting the parallelism in a raw PCIe flash card.  Raw flash cards are different from SSDs, in the sense that they dont have any firmware for doing wearlevelling and garbage collection and they don’t provide a block level interface.
Basically i designed a Flash translation layer (FTL) in linux for using these flash cards.
It is the first part of the thesis. The topic for this  first part of the thesis is “”lftl: A multi-threaded FTL for a Parallel IO Flash Card under Linux”
The pdf is currently available at

The second part of the thesis is ” Distributed wearlevelling of Flash memories”
The pdf is currently available at

My Thesis topic is  ”Efficient usage of Flash memories in high performance scenarios”
