Abstract
Multi-chip flash memory storage systems have been widely adopted in various applications, e.g., data centers. However, they have unpredictable maximal response time when garbage collection is triggered to reclaim space. This phenomenon becomes a critical issue in some applications that require storage systems offering predictable maximal response time to ensure some degree of quality-of-service. To resolve this issue, we propose a partnership-based approach to minimize the maximal response time of flash-memory storage systems by smartly controlling the number of flash chips performing garbage collection at the same time. This approach was evaluated with a series of experiments, and the results show that it could effectively minimize the maximal response time of flash-memory storage systems.
