This paper describes the application of evolutionary search to the problem of Flash memory wear-out. The operating parameters of Flash memory are notoriously difficult to determine, as the optimal values vary from batch to batch. These parameters are usually established by an expensive, once off process of manual destructive testing at design time. Testing on individual batches is normally not feasible. We establish the viability of a platform that performs destructive experimentation on hard silicon, using a Genetic Algorithm to automatically discover optimal operating parameter settings. The results demonstrate a minimum average life extension of between 250% and 350% over the factory set read write and erase conditions with a maximum life extension exhibited of 700% for cells within the same device. It was necessary to build specialized hardware to perform the repetitive testing required by the GA, here we describe this hardware and demonstrate how the lessons learned in this pilot...
