A storage system has zones in solid-state storage memory, with power loss protection. The system identifies portions of data for processes that utilize power loss protection. The system determines to activate or deactivate power loss protection for the portions of data for the processes. The system tracks activation and deactivation of power loss protection in zones in the solid-state storage memory, in accordance with the portions of data having power loss protection activated or deactivated.

Data is stored at a cache portion of a cache memory of a memory sub-system responsive to a request to perform a write operation to write the data. A duplicate copy of the data is stored at a write buffer portion of the cache memory. The cache memory is partitioned into the cache portion and the write buffer portion. An entry that maps a location of the duplicate copy of the data stored at the write buffer portion of the cache memory to a location of the data stored at the cache portion of the cache memory is recorded in a write buffer record.

A memory system which stores a journal including mapping change information, either in a first memory area or a second memory area, depending on available space of a memory device included in the memory system, being greater than a threshold.

A system includes a first memory device having a region allocated as a first persistent memory region (PMR) having a first set of pages, a second memory device comprising a non-volatile memory device having a region allocated as a second PMR region having a second set of pages, and at least one processing device, operatively coupled to the first memory device and the second memory device, to implement a PMR mechanism to cause the second PMR region to be accessible through the first PMR region.

A virtual compute instance is migrated between hosts using remote direct memory access (RDMA). The hosts are equipped with RDMA-enabled network interface controllers for carrying out RDMA operations between them. Upon failure of a first host and copying of page tables of the virtual compute instance to the first host's memory, a first RDMA operation is performed to transfer the page tables from the first host's memory to the second host's memory. Then, second RDMA operations are performed to transfer data pages of the virtual compute instance from the first host's memory to the second host's memory, with references to memory locations of the data pages specified in the page tables. The page tables of the virtual compute instance are reconstructed to reference memory locations of the data pages in the second host's memory and stored therein.

A method of managing a garbage collection (GC) operation on a flash memory includes: setting a GC starting threshold, wherein the GC starting threshold indicates a predetermined spare block number that is higher than a target spare block number of spare blocks maintained by a flash translation layer (FTL) of the flash memory; determining whether to start the GC operation according to a current number of spare blocks in the flash memory and the GC starting threshold; and performing the GC operation on a source block in the flash memory when the current number of spare blocks is lower than or equal to the GC starting threshold.

A memory module may include a first memory module comprising a plurality of first memory devices each having an extra memory region, a second memory module comprising a plurality of second memory devices each having an extra memory region, and a control logic suitable for writing/reading data to/from the first memory devices, wherein the control logic writes/reads target data to be transferred to/from a third memory device having an error among the first memory devices, to/from the extra memory regions of the second memory devices.

An example method includes maintaining a first data structure comprising logical address to physical address mappings for managed units corresponding to a memory, and maintaining a second data structure whose entries correspond to respective physical managed unit addresses. Each entry of the second data structure comprises an activity counter field corresponding to the respective physical managed unit address and a number of additional fields indicating whether the respective physical managed unit address is in one or more of a number of additional data structures. The one or more additional data structures are accessed in association with performing at least one of a wear leveling operation on the respective physical managed unit address, and a neighbor disturb mitigation operation on physical managed unit addresses corresponding to neighbors of the respective physical managed unit address.

The technology disclosed relates to maintaining a cache of effective properties in an identity management system employing a graph. In particular, it relates to handling vertex/edge and/or graph topology updates in accordance with update notification requirements configured from a schema and, in conjunction with detecting updating of vertex/edge attributes and/or graph topology, recalculating effective attributes in accordance with the configured notification requirements.

Disclosed are a method for inheriting a defect block table and a storage device thereof. The method applied to a controller of a storage device includes the steps of: storing an original defect block table in a first storage location of a storage module of the storage device, wherein the original defect block table records defect block information of each plane of the storage module; and in response to a low-level format operation being performed on the storage device, reading the original defect block table, and executing a adaptive inheritance procedure based on a multi-plane mode in which the storage device operates, to generate and store a system defect block table in a second storage location of the storage module, wherein the system defect block table records defect block information corresponding to the multi-plane mode.
