An information processing method, which is executed by a computer, includes detecting a first state in which an object is separated from an operation surface by a prescribed distance. detecting a second state in which the object comes in contact with the operation surface after the first state is detected. executing a first process which includes reading data from a first storage device and loading, into a second storage device, the data that are read, in response to the detecting of the first state, and executing a second process with respect to the data loaded into the second storage device, in response to the detecting of the second state.

A compute tile includes a WCB that receives a workload of writing an output tensor of a convolution into a local memory of the compute tile. The local memory may be a SRAM. The WCB receives write transactions. A write transaction includes a data block, which is a part of the output tensor, and metadata describing one or more attributes of the data block. The WCB may store write transactions in its internal buffers. The WCB may determine whether to combine two write transactions, e.g., based on an operation mode or metadata in the write transactions. In embodiments where the WCB determines to combine the two write transactions, the WCB may combine the two write transactions into a new write transaction and write the new write transaction into the local memory or an internal memory of the WCB. The total number of write transactions for the workload can be reduced.

The present disclosure generally relates to modifying support security parameters without stalling data transfer. Rather than stalling the data transfer when support security modification requests are received. The disclosure proposes incorporating multiple security partition slots in the device controller. Each slot holds security parameters and an IO counter that holds the current number of pending commands in the device that are going to use that slot. The security partition slots are used as ping-pong buffers allowing the device to modify a second slot while freezing the values on a first slot until completing the previous queued commands that are still under execution. The slots allow support security parameter on-the-fly modifications without stalling any IO traffic. The slots feature is very important for QoS and system performance.

Modifying a clone image of a dataset, including: generating, based on metadata describing one or more updates to a dataset, a tracking copy of replica data on a target data repository; generating, after receiving an indication to begin accepting modifications to the tracking copy of the replica data, a cloned image of the dataset that is modifiable without modifying the tracking copy of the replica data; and responsive to a storage operation directed to the target data repository, modifying the cloned image of the dataset without modifying the tracking copy of the replica data.

Disclosed are various embodiments for improving the resiliency and performance for clustered memory. A computing device can mark a page of the memory as being reclaimed. The computing device can then set the page of the memory as read-only. Next, the computing device can submit a write request for the contents of the page to individual ones of a plurality of memory hosts. Subsequently, the computing device can receive individual confirmations of a successful write of the page from the individual ones of the plurality of memory hosts. Then, the computing device can mark the page as free in response to receipt of the individual confirmations of the successful write from the individual ones of the plurality of memory hosts.

According to one embodiment, a controller manages a first set of blocks and a second set of blocks. The controller allocates a second block included in the second set of blocks to a first block included in the first set of blocks. In response to receiving one or more write command specifying the first block, the controller writes data associated with the one or more received write commands to the second block in units of a second minimum write size. When the first block is filled with data that has been written to the first block and unwritten region remains in the second block, the controller deallocates the second block from the first block, and allocates the deallocated second block to a write destination block other than the first block.

According to one embodiment, a memory system stores write data received from a host to a shared write buffer for write destination blocks, acquires first write data for plural pages from the shared write buffer, and writes the first write data to a first write destination block by a first-step write operation. When receiving write data from the host in a state in which an empty region does not exist in the shared write buffer, the memory system discards write data in the shared write buffer in which the first-step write operation has been finished. In a case where the first write data do not exist in the shared write buffer when a second-step write operation of the first write data is to be executed, the memory system transmits a request to acquire the first write data to the host.

The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods to control memory operations on buffers. An example apparatus includes a memory device and a host. The memory device includes a buffer and an array of memory cells, and the buffer includes a plurality of caches. The host includes a system controller, and the system controller is configured to control performance of a memory operation on data in the buffer. The memory operation is associated with data movement among the plurality of caches.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system and an operating method of the memory system. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a memory system may include a buffer memory for storing tail doorbell information for N submission queues capable of storing a command fetched from the host or head doorbell information for N completion queues capable of storing an execution result of the command fetched from the host.

A storage system includes a first storage device including a first write buffer and a first nonvolatile memory device, and a second storage device including a second write buffer and a second nonvolatile memory device. The first storage device is configured to, in response to a determination that a use buffer size of the first write buffer is greater than a first reference buffer size when the first storage device receives write data from a host, transfer the write data to the second storage device, and the second storage device is configured to store the write data.
