[QUOTE="stalker, post: 1176823, member: 285"] Which is why I asked you to read the link I asked you. What you are doing is akin to taking a look at a diagram of an IC engine block and theorizing what purpose the turbo module serves (Stupid example actually since I have NO idea how those things work :P) My point being, registers are basically the fastest memory chips ever created. EVER. Faster than your Main Memory.. faster than your L3 Cache.. faster than your L2 cache... faster than even your L1 cache. If you know how a CPU is architected traditionally, you would know that sizewise the progression is L3>L2>L1 with speed being the reverse. So, registers are faster than all these... and just as with the Lx cache memories, they are also the smallest. Registers are usually very small very fast components of chips that are part of the control circuitry and have a few other similar applications where extreme speed is needed. From the very document you pointed me at, you will notice that the diagram has pages arranged into blocks arranged into planes. Each plane has just the one register. That register DOES NOT serve as a tool for addressing the data. It is simply a small amount of local cache if you will to temporarily store information before a write/read is to be performed. For more information, refer to [url]http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/63596/USENIX-08-SSD.pdf[/url] which is the actual paper being quoted in the poster from Los Alamos. Additionally, if at all you are interested, [url]http://www.samsung.com/global/system/business/semiconductor/product/2007/6/11/NANDFlash/SLC_LargeBlock/8Gbit/K9F8G08U0M/ds_k9f8g08x0m_rev10.pdf[/url] describes how exactly this functions. You could skip down to page number 53 Also, the type of functionality you are referring to is generally restricted to Processor applications in the form of Control Registers [/QUOTE]
