In a method disclosed for writing data, a device receives data, divides the data into one or more data fragments, obtains a first parity fragment based on the one or more data fragments and a second parity fragment of a written data fragment in a stripe distributed across a plurality of nodes, stores the one or more data fragments and the first parity fragment in the stripe.

A bit interleaver, a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) device and a bit interleaving method are disclosed herein. The bit interleaver includes a first memory, a processor, and a second memory. The first memory stores a low-density parity check (LDPC) codeword having a length of 16200 and a code rate of 3/15. The processor generates an interleaved codeword by interleaving the LDPC codeword on a bit group basis. The size of the bit group corresponds to a parallel factor of the LDPC codeword. The second memory provides the interleaved codeword to a modulator for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulation.

Methods, systems, and devices for maintenance command interfaces for a memory system are described. A host system and a memory system may be configured according to a shared protocol that supports enhanced management of maintenance operations between the host system and memory system, such as maintenance operations to resolve error conditions at a physical address of a memory system. In some examples, a memory system may initiate maintenance operations based on detections performed at the memory system, and the memory system may provide a maintenance indication for the host system. In some examples, a host system may initiate maintenance operations based on detections performed at the host system. In various examples, the described maintenance signaling may include capability signaling between the host system and memory system, status indications between the host system and memory system, and other maintenance management techniques.

A method for execution by a dispersed storage network (DSN) managing unit includes receiving access information from a plurality of distributed storage and task (DST) processing units via a network. Cache memory utilization data is generated based on the access information. Configuration instructions are generated for transmission via the network to the plurality of DST processing units based on the cache memory utilization data.

The master interface generates copy data by copying the first data, and generates an error detection code based on the copy data. The protocol conversion unit generates the second data by converting the first data from the first protocol to the second protocol. The slave interface detects errors in the copy data based on the error detection code. The slave interface also generates the first verification data by performing a conversion from one of the first protocol or the second protocol to the other for one of the second data or copy data. In addition, the slave interface compares the second verification data with the first verification data, using the other of the second data or copy as the second verification data.

Systems and methods are provided for detecting and correcting address errors in a memory system. In the memory system, a memory device generates an error-detection code based on an address transmitted via an address bus and transmits the error-detection code to a memory controller. The memory controller transmits an error indication to the memory device in response to the error-detection code. The error indication causes the memory device to remove the received address and prevent a memory operation.

A verifying method for an error checking and correcting (ECC) circuit of a static random-access memory (SRAM) is provided. The SRAM comprises a storage unit, an ECC circuit and a checking circuit. The ECC circuit receives an original data and an output first data. The checking circuit obtains a second data according to an error-injecting mask. The checking circuit performs a bit operation on the first data and the second data to obtain a third data. The checking circuit writes the third data into a test target area of the storage unit and the written data as a fourth data. The checking circuit reads the fourth data from the test target area. The ECC circuit obtains a fifth data and an error message according to the fourth data. The checking circuit obtains the bit error detection result according to the error message and the second data.

An integrated memory assembly comprises a memory die and a control die bonded to the memory die. The memory die includes a memory structure of non-volatile memory cells. The control die is configured to program user data to and read user data from the memory die in response to commands from a memory controller. To utilize space more efficiently on the memory die, the control die compacts fragmented data on the memory die.

Techniques manage a redundant array of independent disks. In such a technique, a response time of a first storage device in the RAID is compared to a first threshold. In response to the response time of the first storage device exceeding the first threshold, the first storage device is configured as a pseudo-degraded storage device, such that the pseudo-degraded storage device is responsive to write requests only.

A method for sorting of a vector in a processor is provided that includes performing, by the processor in response to a vector sort instruction, generating a control input vector for vector permutation logic comprised in the processor based on values in lanes of the vector and a sort order for the vector indicated by the vector sort instruction and storing the control input vector in a storage location.
