Improving Flash Write Performance by Using Update Frequency

Summary: Exploits I/O write skew to guide flash data placement, delivering a principled FTL algorithm for out-of-place updates. Models capacity–overhead trade-offs and cleaning policy; shows 20–75% write-overhead reductions on DB traces vs. state-of-the-art. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
