Multi-write codes hold great promise to reduce write-amplification in flash-based storage devices. In this talk we propose two novel mapping architectures that show clear advantage over known schemes using multi-write codes, and over schemes not using such codes. To evaluate the performance gain we use industry-accepted benchmark traces, as well as synthetically-generated workloads with time locality. The results show write-amplification savings of double-digit percentages, for as low as 10% over-provisioning. In addition, we discuss an analytic model that accurately predicts the write-amplification given parameters describing both the device and the workload.
