Zynq-based solid-state drive prototyping platform for emerging non-volatile memories

Reconfigurable solid state drive platform is necessary for the evaluation of emerging non-volatile memories. In this paper, we design a solid state drive prototyping system based on Xilinx Zynq chip, and further implement a ReRAM-based solid state drive system. ATTO Disk Benchmark is used to test the potential performance benefit of ReRAM-based storage. The superior random write performance demonstrates that ReRAM is promising for big data applications.
