Write disturbance error (WDE) appears as a serious reliability problem preventing phase-change memory (PCM) from general commercialization, and therefore several studies have been proposed to mitigate WDEs. Verify-and-correction (VnC)…
In this paper, we consider modulation codes for practical multilevel flash memory storage systems with cell levels. Instead of maximizing the lifetime of the device [Ajiang-isit07-01, Ajiang-isit07-02, Yaakobi_verdy_siegel_wolf_allerton08,…
Computing-in-memory (CIM) has attracted significant attentions in recent years due to its massive parallelism and low power consumption. However, current CIM designs suffer from large area overhead of small CIM macros and bad programmablity…
An initializable array is an array that supports the read and write operations for any element and the initialization of the entire array. This paper proposes a simple in-place algorithm to implement an initializable array of length $N$…

Flash memory is a non-volatile computer memory comprised of blocks of cells, wherein each cell can take on q different values or levels. While increasing the cell level is easy, reducing the level of a cell can be accomplished only by…

Persistent Memory (PM) is a new storage technology thatbrings high performance, byte addressability, and persistency for a lesser cost than DRAM. Due to cache volatility and store reordering, developers must use explicit instructions (e.g.:…

More-versatile memory is strongly desired for end-users to protect their information in the information era. In particular, bit-level switchable memory, from rewritable to read-only function, allows end-users to prevent any important data…
Agent memory systems accumulate experience but currently lack a principled operational metric for memory quality governance -- deciding which memories to trust, suppress, or deprecate as the agent's task distribution shifts. Write-time…

Flash memory is well-known for its inherent asymmetry: the flash-cell charge levels are easy to increase but are hard to decrease. In a general rewriting model, the stored data changes its value with certain patterns. The patterns of data…
