Improving Flash Write Performance by Using Update Frequency
Summary: A theoretical model links SSD data placement, write skew, overprovisioning, and cleaning policy to write amplification and achievable performance. A principled skew-aware FTL placement algorithm cuts write overhead 20–75% on database traces versus state of the art. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
