US 2004/0064635 A1 · Method of storing data in a non-volatile memory and apparatus therefor

Abstract

Provided is a method of storing data in a non-volatile memory, including generating and storing logs including data to be stored and an address of the non-volatile memory in response to a data-writing request, and comparing addresses of the logs and storing data corresponding to the same page by the unit of page in a corresponding area of the non-volatile memory. The method makes it possible to minimize delay in storing data, reduce the number of accesses to the non-volatile memory and uniformly write data in the whole non-volatile memory, thereby minimizing a response time of the non-volatile memory and increasing the lifetime of the non-volatile memory.

A method of storing data in a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:

(a) in response to a data-writing request, generating and storing logs including data to be stored and an address of the non-volatile memory;
and
(b) comparing addresses of the logs and storing data corresponding to the same page by the unit of page in a corresponding area of the non-volatile memory.

A method of storing data in a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:

(a) upon receipt of a request for start of transaction processing, generating a log including data to be stored and an address of the non-volatile memory in response to the data-writing request until a request for completion of transaction processing is received;
(b) upon receipt of the request for completion of transaction processing, storing the logs in a transaction buffer of the non-volatile memory;
and
(c) comparing addresses of the logs in the transaction buffer and storing data corresponding to the same page in a corresponding area of the non-volatile memory by the unit of page.
