Abstract
A system for increasing data retention time can include a processor to execute code to detect or predict a write event associated with a flash memory. The processor can also control a device to cause a temperature at the flash memory to increase via waste heat in response to the write event. Additionally, the processor can write data to the flash memory at the increased temperature to increase the retention time of the data stored in the flash memory.
