"In this paper, we present a new memory architecture to

enable NAND flash memory to provide XIP functionality.

With XIP functionality in NAND flash, the cost of the

memory system can be reduced since the NAND flash can

be used as not only as data storage but also as code storage

for execution. As a result, we can obtain cost-efficient

memory systems with reasonable performance and power

consumption."
