Samsung today introduced software to optimize flash memory in smartphones. The software optimizes data transactions as they interact with operating systems. By boosting performance through faster booting, downloading and searching, it improves multimedia intensive operations. The embedded-flash software is comprised file systems and supportive flash drivers. The file systems, UniFS, PocketFS and RFS, execute typical operations like creating, removing, reading, and writing files. The flash drivers, UniStore, PocketStore, XSR and FSR, prolong the device's lifetime. The software shortens application design-in times and broadens management of high-speed video images and high-resolution still images. OneNAND is offered in a broad range of densities - 256 Megabit (Mb) through 2 Gigabit (Gb). Having achieved 100 million units of sales (512Mb-equivalent) in two years after initial shipments in 2006, Samsung expects its OneNAND business to exceed 500 million units by the end of this year. Introduced earlier this year, Flex-OneNAND is a single-die solution with the high-speed characteristics of SLC (single level cell) NAND and the high-density of MLC (multi level cell) NAND. "The new software, which significantly upgrades performance of our embedded memory solutions," said Young Joon Choi, Vice President, Memory Division, Samsung. MoviNAND combines a MultiMediaCard v.4 (MMC) controller with NAND to simplify system design requirements for embedded non-volatile storage in data-intensive multimedia handsets.
