SoftWear: Software-Only In-Memory Wear-Leveling for Non-Volatile Main Memory
Georg and Bauer, Lars and Amrouch, Hussam and Chen, Jian-Jia and Henkel, J\"org}, title = {SoftWear: Software-Only In-Memory Wear-Leveling for Non-Volatile Main Memory}, journal = {CoRR}, year = {2020}, volume [...] information about the cell age and thus enable aging-aware wear-leveling decisions. This paper proposes software-only aging-aware wear-leveling based on common CPU features and does not rely on any additional [...] counters, and interrupts to approximate the memory write counts as an aging indicator. Although the software-only approach may lead to slightly worse wear-leveling, it is applicable on commonly available hardware …
