In examples there is a computing device comprising a processor, the processor having a memory management unit. The computing device also has a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the memory management unit to receive a memory access instruction comprising a virtual memory address; translate the virtual memory address to a physical memory address of the memory, and obtain permission information associated with the physical memory address. Responsive to the permission information indicating that metadata is permitted to be associated with the physical memory address, a check is made of a metadata summary table stored in the physical memory to check whether metadata is compatible with the physical memory address. Responsive to the check being unsuccessful, a trap is sent to system software of the computing device in order to trigger dynamic allocation of physical memory for storing metadata associated with the physical memory address.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to data cache management. In embodiments, a logical block address (LBA) bucket is established with at least one logical LBA group. Additionally, at least one LBA group is associated with two or more distinctly sized cache slots based on an input/output (IO) workload received by the storage array. Further, the association includes binding the two or more distinctly sized cache slots with at least one LBA group and mapping the bound distinctly sized cache slots in a searchable data structure. Furthermore, the searchable data structure identifies relationships between slot pointers and key metadata.

Methods, systems, and devices for dynamically tuning host performance booster thresholds are described. A memory system may include a set of memory devices and an interface configured to communicate commands with a host system coupled with the memory system. The interface may communicate commands to the memory system according to a first command mode associated with a logical address space including a plurality of regions and communicate commands according to a second command mode associated with physical memory address. The memory system may further include a controller that may determine a region activated for the second command mode, receive a first plurality of commands, determine, upon deactivating the region, a first threshold based on a first quantity of read commands serviced according to the second command mode. The controller may activate the region for the second command based on a second quantity of read commands received exceeding the first threshold.

Disclosed herein a disaggregation computing system. The disaggregation computing system comprising: a local computing device that comprises a local processor, a local memory bus, a local memory and a local disaggregation controller; a remote computing device that comprises a remote processor, a remote memory bus, a remote memory and a remote disaggregation controller; and a disaggregation network that connects the local computing device and the remote computing device, wherein the local disaggregation controller and the remote disaggregation controller are configured to: check a response delay for access of the remote memory, and control the access of the remote memory based on the response delay.

The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for using a banked memory structure with accelerators. The devices and methods may segment and isolate dataflows in datapath and memory of the accelerator. The devices and methods may provide each data channel with its own register memory bank. The devices and methods may use a memory address decoder to place the local variables in the proper memory bank.

A memory controller includes: a map data storage for storing map data; and a read operation controller for receiving, from a host, a read request and a target logical address corresponding to the read request, acquiring a first physical address mapped to the target logical address, based on the map data, and obtaining data stored at the first physical address. When an uncorrectable error is present in the data stored at the first physical address, the read operation controller acquires a second physical address previously mapped to the target logical address before the first physical address, obtains data stored at the second physical address, and provides the host with the data stored at the second physical address and information representing occurrence of the uncorrectable error.

In various examples, a VPU and associated components may be optimized to improve VPU performance and throughput. For example, the VPU may include a min/max collector, automatic store predication functionality, a SIMD data path organization that allows for inter-lane sharing, a transposed load/store with stride parameter functionality, a load with permute and zero insertion functionality, hardware, logic, and memory layout functionality to allow for two point and two by two point lookups, and per memory bank load caching capabilities. In addition, decoupled accelerators may be used to offload VPU processing tasks to increase throughput and performance, and a hardware sequencer may be included in a DMA system to reduce programming complexity of the VPU and the DMA system. The DMA and VPU may execute a VPU configuration mode that allows the VPU and DMA to operate without a processing controller for performing dynamic region based data movement operations.

A storage system has volatile memory for use as a cache and can extend the available caching space by using a host memory buffer (HMB) in a host. However, because accesses to the HMB involve going through a host interface, there may be latencies in accessing the HMB, To reduce access latencies, the storage system views the volatile memory and the HMB as a two-level cache. In one use case, the storage system decides whether to store a logical-to-physical address table in the volatile memory or in the HMB based on a prediction of the likelihood that the table will be updated. If the likelihood for an update is above a threshold, the table is stored in the volatile memory, thereby eliminating the access latencies that would be encountered if the table needs to be updated and is stored in the HMB.

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.

Apparatuses and methods for configurable memory array bank architectures are described. An example apparatus includes a mode register configured to store information related to bank architecture and a memory array including a plurality of memory banks. The plurality of memory banks are configured to be arranged in a bank architecture based at least in part on the information related to bank architecture stored in the mode register.
