Toshiba has developed an SSD design optimization platform that offers analysis of various SSD simulations, reducing work on design optimization. Toshiba's unified SSD design optimization platform includes ArcHunter, which carries out a variety of SSD simulations, and Polyspector, which summarizes simulation results for efficient analysis. Together, they allow construction and comparison of a wide variety of SSD models, and support efficient searches for optimal combinations of design parameters. A particularly important achievement is the use of general-purpose tools for SSD model development and simulation analysis tasks previously performed by hand, realizing significant reductions in the optimization workload.

The company will present details at the Design Automation Conference in San Francisco, California on June 8.

The Japanese company wil try to apply these technologies in a platform designed for storage systems as well.
