Abstract

Recently, eMMC is widely being used in mobile devices because of its characteristics such as low cost, small size, and low power consumption. In this paper, we analyze features of eMMC based on commands such as Trim, Discard, and Background to investigate how do commands affect the random write performance and lifetime of the NAND flash memory. Also, we propose a method that uses the Background command to improve the random write performance of eMMC. Our experimental results clearly show that our method outperforms the normal power-off method, on average, by 173% in terms of the random write performance.
