Abstract:
A method and apparatus for implementing performance in a flash memory system in a computer system. A flash memory chip includes a function engine performing garbage collection and scrub operations using an internal bus for data movement. The system includes an on-flash chip memory buffer buffering garbage collection and scrub requests. Garbage collection and scrub operations are interleaved with mainline reads and writes.
