Abstract: A transactional file system developed to function with flash memory is described. The file system performs power-failure detection and ensures data integrity in the event of a power failure. In one described implementation, a power failure event can be detected by a file system, components of the file system, or individual modules in the form or computer-executable instructions and/or logic. Meta-information is stored at a location on a flash medium indicated by a write pointer if a computer device shuts-down according to a normal shutdown mode. During initialization of the computer, a check is performed whether the meta-information is present in the location on the flash medium indicated by the write pointer. If the meta-information is present, then a conclusion is made that the computer shutdown according to the normal shutdown mode.

Abstract: A transactional file system developed to function with flash memory is described. The file system provides for efficient storage of file system meta-information, performs robust transaction logging, and performs other related features. In one described implementation, metadata is stored in-line with data. In another embodiment, a transaction log is maintained by storing transaction information associated with requests to perform file transactions. The transaction information is stored at arbitrary physical sector addresses on the flash medium. In still another embodiment, a transaction log is stored in a physical sector of a flash medium. The transaction log contains transaction information associated with performing a file request. Metadata is written into a spare area of the physical sector indicating that the physical sector contains transaction information.

Abstract: One or more secondary data structures are maintained containing mappings of logical flash memory addresses to physical flash memory addresses. Each secondary data structure has a predetermined capacity of mappings. A master data structure is also maintained containing a pointer to each of the one or more secondary data structures. Additional secondary data structures are allocated as needed to provide capacity for additional mappings. One or more counters associated with each of the one or more secondary data structures, respectively, provides an indication of when each of the one or more secondary data structures reaches the predetermined capacity of mappings.

Abstract: One or more mapping data structures are maintained containing mappings of logical flash memory addresses to physical flash memory addresses. Each mapping data structure has a predetermined capacity of mappings. A master data structure is also maintained containing a pointer to each of the one or more mapping data structures. Additional mapping data structures are allocated as needed to provide capacity for additional mappings. Each time a mapping data structure is allocated or de-allocated the pointers in the master data structure are changed accordingly.

Abstract: A flash driver tracks data stored in a flash memory device through the use of logical-to-physical sector mapping. The mapping is stored in a data structure and allows data to be written into the next free physical sector in the flash memory medium. Write operations complete quickly, because there is no need to perform an erase operation in order to write new data on to the flash memory medium. Data loss due to power interruption during a write operation is also minimized by the described implementations. The logical-to-physical sector mapping stored in data structure is backed-up on the flash memory medium. In the event there is a catastrophic power interruption, logical-to-physical sector mapping can easily be reestablished by scanning the backed-up mapping in the flash memory medium. The backed-up information can be stored in a spare portion of a NAND or NOR flash memory medium.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for profiling the power consumption of software instructions executing on a processor. A power measurement circuit records power consumption levels of a processor executing various software instructions. A profiling tool tracks and identifies the instructions being executed on the processor and generates an association between the instructions and the power consumed during execution of those instructions. The power profile enables the precise isolation and identification of instructions relative to amounts of power consumed during the execution of those instructions.

Abstract: Erase operations are performed on a flash memory device by monitoring the entropic nature of the flash memory device. In one implementation, flash abstraction logic, tracks how many physical sectors are free to receive data; track how many physical sectors contain data that is dirty, and compare whether the physical sectors that are free to receive data outnumber the physical sectors that contain data that is dirty. A compactor performs an erase operation of one or more blocks when the physical sectors that contain data that is dirty outnumber the physical sectors that are free to receive data. In another implementation, the flash abstraction logic tracks how many physical sector addresses are free to receive data, and track when the physical sector addresses that are free to receive data are insufficient in quantity to receive write requests from a file system.

Abstract: A system supports flash memory having addressable locations. The system uses a compactor that periodically advances through a circular sequence of the flash memory locations organized as blocks and clears the blocks as it advances through the memory locations. In another described implementation, a system uses a write pointer that advances through the circular sequence of the flash memory locations. The write pointer indicating one or more memory locations that are free to receive data after the write pointer advances. Accordingly, the flash memory medium is organized as a continuous circle of addresses, whereby clear and write operations are handled in a continuous and repeating circular manner to achieve uniform wear leveling through a flash memory medium.
