FTL Testing
ICE3028: Embedded System Design, Fall 2019, Dongkun Shin ([email protected])
FTL Testing: ftl_test
• FTL verification without using SATA interface
• Emulate the command inside the SSD.
• Test 8 I/O sub-tests right after ftl_open
• Generate ftl_write and ftl_read internally
– Not from host
– Almost same as ftl_sim.c in past lab.

FTL Testing: ftl_test
• How to?
– Download ftl_test.zip at course homepage
– Unzip it into ftl_xxx folder
– Add ftl_test.c to ‘SRCS=‘ in build_gnu/Makefile
– Edit include/jasmine.h
• Set OPTION_FTL_TEST and OPTION_UART_DEBUG
– Edit ftl_xxx/ftl.h
• #define DRAM_BYTES_OTHER (… + FTL_TEST_BYTES)
• #define FTL_TEST_ADDR (…previous define value…)
• #define FTL_TEST_BYTES (4*1024*1024)

FTL Testing: ftl_test
• Result will be shown on PuTTY
• Eight I/O patterns are generated
– 0th : Specific behaviors
– 1st : [SW-SR]s
– 2nd : SWs-SRs
– 3rd : Similar with 1st one
– 4th : Similar with 3rd one
– 5th : SWs-RWs-Rs
– 6th : Partial page RWs-RRw (hard)
– 7th : Similar with 5th
• Try it with Greedy FTL
• You can also add other workloads by creating them.

Project II
DFTL Porting on Jasmine
ICE3028: Embedded System Design, Fall 2019, Dongkun Shin ([email protected])
Project II : DFTL Porting on Jasmine
• Porting the DFTL simulator (Project 1) on
Jasmine Board
– Store page mapping table on flash memory.
– Dynamically load/unload map page into DRAM.
– GTD is managed in DRAM.

Configurations
• FTL Configure
– Configure to use 1 plane mode (include/jasmine.h)
– Do not modify # of Bank, # of Block, # of Page, etc.
• DFTL Configure
– # of Map Blocks (per bank)
– # of Cached Map page (per bank)
• Manage dirty bit separately.

Description
• Block layout
– block #0: scan list, firmware binary image, etc.
– block #1: FTL misc. metadata
• If more than 1 block is needed, use next block
– block #2: initial gc block for user block
• Perform GC when free block is 1 in the total user blocks
– block #3: initial gc block for map block
• Perform GC when free block is 1 in the total map blocks
– block #4~: user & map data blocks
• Total number of map blocks: N_MAP_BLOCKS_PB + 1 (gc block)
• Total number of user blocks: REMAINING_BLOCKS – N_MAP_BLOCKS_PB + 1 (gc
block)
• Do not use the page mapping table (PAGE_MAP_ADDR) used in
Greedy FTL.
– Do not use the associated function.
– You must initialize the page mapping table in the NAND.

Description
• Garbage Collection
– GC policy: Greedy
– User block GC
• Select victim block
• Copy valid pages
• Update Corresponding translation page (NAND)
• Update GTD
• Update CMT (If the map page is present)
– Map block GC
• Select victim block
• Copy valid pages
• Update GTD
• CMT hit, miss counting
– When no page read or write operation required → Cache hit
– Other → Cache miss

Description
• Note
– Spare area management
• Manage map page number list of current block for spare area
management.
– Store map page number list of current block to last page of the block.
– See g_misc_meta[bank].lpn_list_of_cur_vblock.
– Flash wrapper function
• Do not use xxx_from_host(), xxx_to_host() if it only changes to DRAM.
• Use RETURN_ON_ISSUE, RETURN_WHEN_DONE according to the
operation.
– SRAM data management
• Add the data to the ftl_statistics and misc_metadata structures.
– ex) cache_hit, cache_miss, ...

Miscellaneous
• Recommended environment : Windows
• Team Project
• You should submit a report
– Describe your code in detail.
– Analyze the performance vs. CMT ratio (Draw a graph)
– Analyze the performance vs. # of Map OP blocks (Draw a graph)
• Configure MAP_OP_RATIO
– Measure the performance with an IOmeter
• Direct connect to SATA, not through a USB
• Sequential Write 16KB, Sequential Read 16KB, Random Write 16KB, Random Read 16KB
• Submit to the icampus
– Due: 11/27(Wed.) 23:59:59
– File to submit: ftl_dftl (folder)
• ftl.h, ftl.c, report.pdf
– File name: team_$NUMBER.zip (ex. team_01.zip)
• Note: Project II has a large percentage of score, unlike Lab!
