Abstract
Several solid state drive (SSD) researches use software simulator since real SSD hardware architecture is difficult to modify. Unfortunately, there are not many open-source SSD simulators in public domain. Moreover, the mostly used simulator which was created by Microsoft research supports only dedicated channel for each package. This is different with current commercial SSDs nowadays. Several commercial SSDs support shared channels to connect between packages. Thus, in this paper, we modify Microsoft research simulator so that it can simulate current commercial SSDs. To make sure our implementation is correct; the modified simulator is configured as dedicated channel SSD and compares the experiment results with original SSD simulator. We further expand our results to see how different SSD architecture affects performance. From the experiment results, it is proven that we have successfully modified Microsoft Research SSD Simulator to supports shared channel between packages.
