flash translation layer: a review and bibliometric analysis

A flash translation layer (FTL) is a software layer used in flash memory systems to manage data storage and retrieval. It translates logical block addresses from the host system into physical addresses on the flash memory, handling wear leveling, garbage collection, and bad block management to optimize performance and extend the lifespan of the memory. A review and bibliometric analysis of FTL involves examining existing research, trends, and contributions in the field to identify advancements, challenges, and future directions.
