Computing device and method for inferring a predicted number of data chunks writable on a flash memory before wear out

Abstract

Computing device and method for inferring a predicted number of data chunks writable on a flash memory before the flash memory wears out. The computing device stores a predictive model generated by a neural network training engine. A processing unit of the computing device executes a neural network inference engine, using the predictive model for inferring the predicted number of data chunks writable on the flash memory before the flash memory wears out based on inputs. The inputs comprise a total number of physical blocks previously erased from the flash memory, a size of the data chunk, and optionally an operating temperature of the flash memory. In a particular aspect, the flash memory is comprised in the computing device, and an action may be taken for preserving a lifespan of the flash memory based at least on the predicted number of data chunks writable on the flash memory.
