Disclosed herein is a method of writing data to, and reading data from, one or more buffers. The method comprises: determining a write rate of writing data into a first buffer; determining a read rate of reading data from the first buffer; determining, using the write rate and the read rate, a portion of the first buffer; writing data into the portion of the first buffer; starting to read data from the first buffer when the writing of data to the portion of the first buffer has finished; and writing data into a remaining part of the first buffer, different from the portion of the first buffer. The portion of the first buffer is determined such that the reading of data from the first buffer does not overtake the writing of data into the first buffer.

A storage device and an operating method thereof are provided. The storage device includes a non-volatile memory, an interconnect, a device controller and a buffer memory. The interconnect exchanges data with a host, receives a logging target setting request and a logging period setting request with respect to debugging information from the host, receives a debugging information logging request from the host, and receive a read request from the host. The device controller includes a buffer memory and controls the non-volatile memory, controls a logging operation on the debugging information based on a logging target and a logging period, which are requested by the host, in response to the debugging information logging request, and transmits the debugging information to the host in response to the read request. The device controller is further configured to logs the debugging information in the buffer memory according to the debugging information logging request.

A method of operating a non-volatile memory device is provided. The device includes a latch, a page buffer and blocks, each of which includes pages. The method includes: receiving a page command for a write operation corresponding to a page of one of the blocks; receiving a write command for writing data to the page buffer; latching preexisting latched data or random data generated as latched data; writing the latched data to a page of a new block from among the plurality of blocks that corresponds to a page address based on the write command; and repeatedly updating the page address and repeatedly writing the latched data to additional pages corresponding to each updated page address until each page of the new block has been written to.

Examples described herein relate to a network interface device comprising an interface to memory and circuitry. In some examples, the circuitry is to: determine a number of data units stored in a page in the memory and based on no data unit stored in a page of memory, permit storage of a data unit in the page in the memory.

A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to interact with a host device using Universal Flash Storage (UFS) interface protocols, provide a hint to the host device, switch between a first mode and a second mode, retrieve the data from the memory device, and deliver the data to the host device. The hint includes an indication of what order data will be received from the data storage device. The order of the data will be in a different order than a requested order after providing the hint.

Described are methods, systems and computer readable media for dynamic updating of query result displays.

Techniques are disclosed for managing metadata of a storage system. A storage control system receives data to be written to primary storage, and writes the received data together with metadata to a write cache. The storage control system destages the metadata from the write cache to a primary metadata structure which is configured to persistently store and index the metadata. The primary metadata structure comprises (i) a first data structure that is configured to accumulate the metadata destaged from the write cache and organize the accumulated metadata in blocks of metadata sorted by index keys, and (ii) a second data structure that is configured to receive the accumulated metadata from the first data structure, and organize the received metadata using an index structure that enables random-access to the metadata using the index keys.

A data storage device includes a shared command queue, a queue controller, a processor, and a memory. The command queue is configured to queue a plurality of jobs transmitted from a plurality of host processors. The queue controller is configured to classify the plurality of jobs into a plurality of levels of jobs according to priority threshold values and assign jobs of the plurality of levels of jobs the processor. The processor is configured to process the jobs assigned by the queue controller. The memory may store data needed to process the job.

Various implementations described herein relate to systems and methods for managing metadata using an in-memory journal, including determining metadata for data, storing the metadata in an in-memory journal, detecting an imminent interruption to operations of the storage device, in response to detecting the imminent interruption, program the in-memory journal to a non-volatile memory device of the storage device, detect that the operations of the storage device are being restored, and in response to detecting that the operations of the storage device are being restored, performing metadata update. The first data is read from first original areas of a non-volatile memory. The first metadata includes a first physical address for each of first new areas of the non-volatile memory. The metadata is programmed in a metadata area of the non-volatile memory device.

Techniques for improving system performance based on data characteristics are disclosed. A system may receive updates to a first data set at a first frequency. The system selects a first storage configuration, from a plurality of storage configurations, for storing the first data set based on the first frequency, and stores the first data set in accordance with the first storage configuration. The system may further receive updates to a second data set at a second frequency. The system selects a second storage configuration, from the plurality of storage configurations, for storing the second data set based on the second frequency, and stores the second data set in accordance with the second storage configuration. The second storage configuration is different than the first storage configuration.
