Flash Memories have been widely used as a storage media in electronic devices such as USB flash drives, mobile phones and cameras. Flash Memory offers a portable and non-volatile de- sign, which can be carried to everywhere without data loss. It is durable against temperature and humidity. With all these advantages, Flash Memory gets popular day by day. However, Flash Memory has also some disadvantages, such as erase-before restriction and erase limi- tation of each individual block. Erase-before restriction pushes every single writable unit to be erased before an update operation. Another limitation is that every block can be erased up to a fixed number. Flash Translation Layer - FTL is the solution for these disadvantages. Flash Translation Layer is a software module inside the Flash Memory working between the operating system and the memory. FTL tries to reduce these disadvantages of Flash Memory via implementing garbage collector, address mapping scheme, error correcting and many oth- ers. There are various Flash Translation Layer software. Some of them have been reviewed in terms of their advantages and disadvantages. The study aims at designing, implementing and simulating a NAND type FTL algorithm.

Design and implementation of a monitoring framework
Kuz, Kadir; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
In this thesis work, the symptoms in Windows XP operating system for fault monitoring are investigated and a fault monitoring library is developed. A test GUI is implemented to examine this library. Performance tests including memory and CPU usage are done to see its overhead to the system and platform tests on the current version of Windows operating system series (Windows Vista) are done to see for compatibility. In this thesis, fault monitor-fault detector interface is also defined and implemented. To mo...
A VERSATILE MICROCOMPUTER INTERFACE AND PERIPHERAL DEVICES - AN APPLICATION IN DEUTERIUM LAMP BACKGROUND CORRECTION GRAPHITE-FURNACE ATOMIC-ABSORPTION SPECTROMETRY
GOKMEN, A; YALCIN, S (1992-01-01)
A versatile interface card for Apple IIe computer and various peripheral devices are designed to control instruments which generates transient signals like in graphite furnace atomic spectrometer. The interface card consists of a multiplexed analog-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter, and a timer/counter chip. The timer/counter chip with 16 built-in registers can be programmed in many modes which provides a time base for real-time measurements. A stepper motor runs under the control of ti...
Fuzzy decision fusion for single target classification in wireless sensor networks
Gök, Sercan; Yazıcı, Adnan; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Nowadays, low-cost and tiny sensors are started to be commonly used due to developing technology. Wireless sensor networks become the solution for a variety of applications such as military applications. For military applications, classification of a target in a battlefield plays an important role. Target classification can be done effectively by using wireless sensor networks. A wireless sensor node has the ability to sense the raw signal data in battlefield, extract the feature vectors from sensed signal ...
Execution of distributed database queries on a HPC system
Önder, İbrahim Seçkin; Coşar, Ahmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Increasing performance of computers and ability to connect computers with high speed communication networks make distributed databases systems an attractive research area. In this study, we evaluate communication and data processing capabilities of a HPC machine. We calculate accurate cost formulas for high volume data communication between processing nodes and experimentally measure sorting times. A left deep query plan executer has been implemented and experimentally used for executing plans generated by ...
A 3D topological tracking system for augmented reality
Ercan, Münir; Can, Tolga; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Augmented Reality (AR) has become a popular area in computer Science where research studies and technological innovations are extensive. Research in AR first began in the early 1990s and thenceforth, a number of di erent tracking algorithms and methods have been developed. Tracking systems have a critical importance for AR and marker based vision tracking systems became the mostly used tracking systems due to their low cost and ease of use. Basically, marker systems consist of special patterns that are plac...
