Methods for controlled segregation of blocks of information encoded in the sequence of a biopolymer, such as nucleic acids and polypeptides, with rapid retrieval based on multiply addressing nanostructured data have been developed. In some embodiments, sequence controlled polymer memory objects include data-encoded biopolymers of any length or form encapsulated by natural or synthetic polymers and including one or more address tags. The sequence address labels are used to associate or select memory objects for sequencing read-out, enabling organization and access of distinct memory objects or subsets of memory objects using Boolean logic. In some embodiments, a memory object is a single-stranded nucleic acid scaffold strand encoding bit stream information that is folded into a nucleic acid nanostructure of arbitrary geometry, including one or more sequence address labels. Methods for controlled degradation of biopolymer-encoded blocks of information in the memory objects are also developed.

A PIM device includes a plurality of first storage regions, a second storage region, and a column control circuit. The second storage region is coupled to each of the plurality of first storage regions through a data transmission line.

A method and system for optimized read access to shared data via monitoring of mirroring operations are described. A data storage system performs operations that include one controller in a dual-controller host storage appliance in an asymmetric active/active configuration receiving a request from the host for data on a logical unit number owned by the partner controller. The receiving controller, which has a mirror cache of the partner controller's memory for failure recovery, accesses the mirror cache using a data structure that was populated during previous mirror operations. If the data is found in the mirror cache, it is read from the cache and returned to the requesting host without having to contact the partner controller for the data.

Hazard avoidance in a multi-slice processor including adding, to a hazard table, an entry for an effective address, wherein the entry comprises an instruction tag (ITAG) offset for the effective address; fetching, by an instruction fetch unit, a processor instruction from a memory location using the effective address; determining that the hazard table includes the entry for the effective address; retrieving, from the hazard table, the ITAG offset for the effective address; identifying a prior internal operation (TOP) using the ITAG offset; and decoding the processor instruction into a load IOP with a dependency on the prior IOP.

A method for processing a memory page in memory, where the memory page in the memory includes an idle single-level cell (SLC) memory page, an active SLC memory page, an inactive SLC memory page, and a multi-level cell (MLC) memory page, and when a quantity of idle SLC memory pages of any virtual machine (VM) is less than a specified threshold, the processing method includes converting one idle SLC memory page to two MLC memory pages, copying data in two inactive SLC memory pages to the two converted MLC memory pages, and releasing storage space of the two inactive SLC memory pages to obtain two idle SLC memory pages.
