EXPLORE

Start with the observable.

Use this page when the simulation is the primary artifact. The linked lesson explains the concept; the linked lab keeps the visual replay surface available.

guided exploration
  • Compare bits per cell before treating Flash as one memory technology.
  • Read endurance and retention together because both widen threshold distributions.
  • Use ECC margin as a system-facing translation of device distribution overlap.

RUN CARD

Conditions before conclusions.

This page replays saved NAND threshold data and does not run a live SSD, NAND device model, or ECC encoder.

precomputed NAND threshold sweep

Primary knobs

  • Bits per cell
  • P/E cycles
  • Retention time
outputs

Saved outputs

  • Vt sigma proxy
  • Distribution overlap proxy
  • ECC margin index

METHODS

How the number was made.

Methods are written for citation discipline: the extraction rule matters as much as the plotted value.

method

Distribution spacing shrinks as bits per cell increases.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

Threshold sigma grows with P/E cycles and retention time.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

method

ECC margin index falls as distribution overlap increases.

Keep this method attached when reusing the figure or metric.

LIMITS

What this page does not claim.

The MVP is useful because the limits are visible. These statements prevent a teaching simulation from being cited as silicon evidence.

non-claim

No real NAND distribution, program-verify algorithm, read-retry, LDPC/BCH implementation, or SSD firmware is included.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

No endurance rating, data-retention guarantee, or product comparison is made.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

non-claim

Real Flash work needs measured Vt distributions, controller behavior, ECC details, and qualification data.

Carry this boundary into any derivative note, paper draft, or slide.

EVIDENCE

Trace the claim back to artifacts.

The evidence route remains the catalog-level browser; this page is the simulation-level reading card.

evidence note

v64 deep results store every mode, cycle, retention, overlap, and margin row.

evidence note

CSV export preserves the threshold/ECC comparison.

evidence note

The memory source spine keeps Flash inside a rights-clean hierarchy lesson.
