Summary:
In this letter, we propose a garbage collection technique for non-volatile memory systems, called Migration Cost Sensitive Garbage Collection (MCSGC). Considering the migration overhead from selecting victim blocks, MCSGC increases the lifetime of memory systems and improves response time in garbage collection. Additionally, the proposed algorithm also improves the efficiency of garbage collection by separating cold data from hot data in valid pages. In the experimental evaluation, we show that MCSGC yields up to a 82% improvement in lifetime prolongation, compared with existing garbage collection, and it also reduces erase and migration operations by up to 30% and 29%, respectively.
