LazyFTL: A Page-level Flash Translation Layer Optimized for NAND Flash Memory
Summary: LazyFTL introduces a page-level FTL for NAND flash that eliminates merge overhead, delivering low latency and scalability. Empirically it outperforms conventional FTL schemes and nears the theoretical optimum, with a simple failure-recovery design. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
