Problems solved by technology

At present, the FTL algorithm performance test of SSD is only a simple test of sequential read and write and random read and write of SSD, and generally compares the output results of the two, and uses this to evaluate the performance of SSD, which is not objective and comprehensive enough.
[0004] It is understandable that the existing FTL algorithm performance test of SSD is not objective and comprehensive, mainly because the test cases used cannot represent a real application scenario (generally, real application scenarios should not only have sequential read and write or only random read and write), and each test case is independent of each other, and cannot reflect the impact of hot and cold data
[0005] Therefore, the existing FTL algorithm performance testing methods cannot comprehensively examine the performance of SSDs.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of storage devices, in particular to a method for testing the performance of a solid state hard disk FTL algorithm. Background technique [0002] Based on the performance requirements for high reliability, low latency, and low power consumption, storage devices are gradually shifting from disk storage to solid-state storage (using Nand Flash as the medium). The current file system is based on disk design. The disk is accessed as a block-device. Because Nand Flash has the characteristics of write-once and wear-out, solid state drives (SSDs) are used. ) When replacing the disk, the firmware layer FTL needs to be mapped. Specifically, FTL is the English abbreviation of Flashtranslation layer, and FTL is a software middle layer that is used to simulate flash memory as a virtual block device, so that block device file systems such as FAT can be implemented on the flash memory. FTL can make SSDs store like disks. [0...
