Abstract It is generally accepted that the trends in ubiquitous and pervasive computing are rapidly increasing the diversity and heterogeneity of wireless technologies and their constituent devices. However, there are significant problerns to overcome when integrating embedded and mobile devices into a ubiquitous and pervasive computing environrnent. One can consider that flash memory is an essential storage medium for embedded and mobile devices, because it is small, lightweight, nonvolatile, and vibration-resistant; and it has a high storage capacity. Lower energy consumption is an important consideration in the design, and one solution for reducing energy consumption is to include a buffer layer in a flash memory storage system. A buffer layer can let data be updated in situ, reduce energy consumption, and increase access performance. We developed an optimal-read only-write buffer architecture tailored to the properties of flash memory, since a traditional read/write buffer architecture is unsuitable f...
