  • Dual-storage-port Nonvolatile SRAM based on Back-end-of-the-line Processed Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Ferroelectric Capacitors Towards 3D Selector-free Cross-point Memory
Title: Dual-storage-port Nonvolatile SRAM based on Back-end-of-the-line Processed Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 Ferroelectric Capacitors Towards 3D Selector-free Cross-point Memory
This work presents the design and experimental demonstration of a novel dual-storage-portnonvolatile SRAM based on back-end-of-the-line processed Hf0.5Zr0.5O2-based metal-ferroelectric-metalcapacitors, which offers significant advantages over the conventional single-storage-port version withoutarea penalty, and paves the way for implementing our proposed selector-free 3D cross-point memory.  more » « less

    As the volume of data is rapidly produced every day, there is a need for the storage media to keep up with the growth rate of digital data created. Despite emerging storage solutions that have been proposed such as Solid State Drive (SSD) with quad-level cells (QLC) or penta-level cells (PLC), Shingled Magnetic Recording (SMR), LTO-tape, etc., these technologies still fall short of meeting the demand for preserving huge amounts of available data. Moreover, current storage solutions have a limited lifespan, often lasting just a few years. To ensure long-term preservation, data must be continuously migrated to new storage drives. Therefore, there is a need for alternative storage technologies that not only offer high storage capacity but also long persistency. In contrast to existing storage devices, Synthetic Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) storage emerges as a promising candidate for archival data storage, offering both high-density storage capacity and the potential for long-term data preservation. In this paper, we will introduce DNA storage, discuss the capabilities of DNA storage based on the current biotechnologies, discuss possible improvements in DNA storage, and explore further improvements with future technologies. Currently, the limitations of DNA storage are due to its weaknesses including high error rates, long access latency, etc. In this paper, we will focus on possible DNA storage research issues based on its relevant bio and computer technologies. Also, we will provide potential solutions and forward-looking predictions about the development and the future of DNA storage. We will discuss DNA storage from the following five perspectives: 1) We will describe the basic background of DNA storage including the basic technologies of read/write DNA storage, data access processes such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based random access, encoding schemes from digital data to DNA, and required DNA storage format. 2) We will describe the issues of DNA storage based on the current technologies including bio-constraints during the encoding process such as avoiding long homopolymers and containing certain GC contents, different types of errors in synthesis and sequencing processes, low practical capacity with the current technologies, slow read and write performance, and low encoding density for random accesses. 3) Based on the previously mentioned issues, we will summarize the current solutions for each issue, and also give and discuss the potential solutions based on the future technologies. 4) From a system perspective, we will discuss how the DNA storage system will look if the DNA storage becomes commercialized and is widely equipped in archive systems. Some questions will be discussed including i) How to efficiently index data in DNA storage? ii) What is a good storage hierarchical storage system with DNA storage? iii) What will DNA storage be like with the development of technology? 5) Finally, we will provide a comparison with other competitive technologies.

    Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) as a storage medium with high density and long-term preservation properties can satisfy the requirement of archival storage for rapidly increased digital volume. The read and write processes of DNA storage are error-prone. Images widely used in social media have the properties of fault tolerance which are well fitted to the DNA storage. However, prior work simply investigated the feasibility of DNA storage storing different types of data and simply store images in DNA storage, which did not fully investigate the fault-tolerant potential of images in the DNA storage. In this paper, we proposed a new image-based DNA system called IMG-DNA, which can efficiently store images in DNA storage with improved DNA storage robustness. First, a new DNA architecture is proposed to fit JPEG-based images and improve the image’s robustness in DNA storage. Moreover, barriers inserted in DNA sequences efficiently prevent error propagation in images of DNA storage. The experimental results indicate that the proposed IMG-DNA achieves much higher fault-tolerant than prior work.

    Storage systems are designed to never lose data. However, modern applications increasingly use local storage to improve performance by storing soft state such as cached, prefetched or precomputed results. Required is elastic storage, where cloud providers can alter the storage footprint of applications by removing and regenerating soft state based on resource availability and access patterns. We propose a new abstraction called a motif that enables storage elasticity by allowing applications to describe how soft state can be regenerated. Carillon is a system that uses motifs to dynamically change the storage space used by applications. Carillon is implemented as a runtime and a collection of shim layers that interpose between applications and specific storage APIs; we describe shims for a filesystem (Carillon-FS) and a key-value store (Carillon-KV). We show that Carillon-FS allows us to dynamically alter the storage footprint of a VM, while Carillon-KV enables a graph database that accelerates performance based on available storage space

    The third industrial revolution has brought mankind into the information age. The development of information storage materials has played a key role in this transformation. Such materials have seen use in many application areas, including computing, logistics, and medicine. Information storage materials run the gamut from magnetic information storage media to molecular-based information storage materials. Among these, fluorescent-based information storage materials are of particular interest due to their unique properties, including an ability to store information with high levels of security, maintain mechanical stability, and respond to appropriately chosen external stimuli. In this review, we focus on recent advances involving the preparation and study of fluorescent materials-based information storage codes. For organisational purposes, these codes are treated according to the dimensionality of the code system in question, namely 1D-, 2D-, and 3D-type codes. The present review is designed to provide a succinct summary of what has been accomplished in the area, while outlining existing challenges and noting directions for future development.

    The total amount of data in the world has been increasing rapidly. However, the increase of data storage capacity is much slower than that of data generation. How to store and archive such a huge amount of data becomes critical and challenging. Synthetic Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) storage is one of the promising candidates with high density and long-term preservation for archival storage systems. The existing works have focused on the achievable feasibility of a small amount of data when using DNA as storage. In this paper, we investigate the scalability and potentials of DNA storage when a huge amount of data, like all available data from the world, is to be stored. First, we investigate the feasible storage capability that can be achieved in a single DNA pool/tube based on current and future technologies. Then, the indexing of DNA storage is explored. Finally, the metadata overhead based on future technology trends is also investigated.
