Samsung announced a new software designed to optimize the high performance features of its proprietary embedded flash memories: OneNAND, Flex-OneNAND and moviNAND, which are used in smartphones with OS Windows Mobile, Symbian, Linux, and RTOS (real-time operating system).

“The new software, which significantly upgrades performance of our embedded memory solutions, is expected to make OneNAND and other high-performance, high-density memory solutions such as the 16GB moviNAND even more desirable for advanced handsets, speeding the adoption rate of Samsung’s embedded memory solutions,” said Young Joon Choi, vice president, Memory Division, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

The new software optimizes data transactions within its memory chips as they interact with the operating system and will boost performance through faster booting, downloading and searching, thanks to new file system/flash driver combination. The new embedded flash-optimized software is expected to shorten application design-in times and, as a result, broaden the adoption of advanced embedded-flash solutions, particularly where management of high-speed video images and high-resolution still images is important.
