MEMORY STATUS COMMAND AGGREGATION
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include aggregating a plurality of memory status commands. Each command of the plurality of memory status commands is assigned a corresponding bit on a memory interface. The plurality of memory status commands are sent in parallel as an aggregate status command to one or more memory components via the memory interface.
CONFIGURABLE SOLID STATE DRIVE WITH MULTIPLE FORM FACTORS
An apparatus which includes a first solid state drive (SSD) located on an SSD card having a fixed capacity and a first form factor. The apparatus can further include an adapter located on the SSD card to accommodate a second SSD. The second SSD has a second form factor that is different than the first form factor and is removeable from the SSD card. The apparatus can further include a controller located on the SSD card and configured to access the first SSD and the second SSD.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONFIGURING A NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE WITHOUT DATA TRANSFER
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.
MEMORY DEVICE STATUS PUSH WITHIN MEMORY SUB-SYSTEM
A local media controller of a first memory device receives a first number of cycles broadcasted by a second memory device via a bus connecting the first memory device and the second memory device. The local media controller initializes a counter associated with the first memory device. Responsive to determining that the value of the counter matches the first number of cycles, the local media controller transmits a status of the first memory device via the bus. Furthermore, responsive to determining that the status is ready, the local media controller sends, to a memory sub-system controller managing the first memory device, a status of a memory region of the first memory device.
SELECTIVE POWER-ON SCRUB OF MEMORY UNITS
A system includes a memory device storing groups of managed units and a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device is to, during power on of the memory device, perform including: causing a read operation to be performed at a subset of a group of managed units; determining a bit error rate related to data read from the subset of the group of managed units; and in response to the bit error rate satisfying a threshold criterion, causing a rewrite of the data stored at the group of managed units.
PARALLEL READS OF DATA STAGING TABLE
Systems and methods to read records of a data staging table, where each record of the data staging table is associated with a package identifier, a key value of a record of a first database table, values of one or more non-key fields of the record of the first database table, and a database operation, include reading of one or more records of the data staging table, each of the read one or more records associated with a package identifier indicating the record is not being processed, and not including a same key value as any other record of the data staging table associated with a package identifier indicating the record is being processed, updating the package identifier of each of the read records of the data staging table to a first package identifier indicating that the record is being processed, creating a transaction record of a transaction queue associating the data staging table and the first package identifier, determining that the read one or more records have been processed, and, in response to the determination, deleting the one or more read rows from the data staging table and the transaction record.
POWER-ON READ DEMARCATION VOLTAGE OPTIMIZATION
A system comprising includes a memory device having memory cells a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device. The processing device is to perform operations including: determining a length of time the memory device has been powered off; and in response to determining that the length of time satisfies a threshold value: for each of multiple groups of memory cells, asserting a corresponding flag; determining, based on the length of time, one or more adjusted demarcation voltages to be used in reading a state of the multiple groups of memory cells; and storing the one or more adjusted demarcation voltages for use in performing memory operations.
DYNAMIC READ-LEVEL THRESHOLDS IN MEMORY SYSTEMS
A current operating characteristic value of a unit of the memory device is identified. An operating characteristic threshold value is identified from a set of operating characteristic thresholds, where the current operating characteristic value satisfies an operating characteristic threshold criterion that is based on the operating characteristic threshold value. A set of write-to-read (W2R) delay time thresholds that corresponds to the operating characteristic threshold value is identified from a plurality of sets of W2R delay time thresholds. Each of the W2R delay time thresholds in the set is associated with a corresponding read voltage level. A W2R delay time threshold associated with a W2R delay time threshold criterion is identified from the set of W2R delay time thresholds, where the W2R threshold criterion is satisfied by a current W2R delay time of the memory sub-system. A read voltage level associated with the identified W2R delay time threshold is identified.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA COMPACTION UTILIZING MISMATCH PROBABILITY ESTIMATION
A system and method for compacting data that uses mismatch probability estimation to improve entropy encoding methods to account for, and efficiently handle, previously-unseen data in data to be compacted. Training data sets are analyzed to determine the frequency of occurrence of each sourceblock in the training data sets. A mismatch probability estimate is calculated comprising an estimated frequency at which any given data sourceblock received during encoding will not have a codeword in the codebook. Entropy encoding is used to generate codebooks comprising codewords for data sourceblocks based on the frequency of occurrence of each sourceblock. A “mismatch codeword” is inserted into the codebook based on the mismatch probability estimate to represent those cases when a block of data to be encoded does not have a codeword in the codebook. During encoding, if a mismatch occurs, a secondary encoding process is used to encode the mismatched sourceblock.
MEMORY SUB-SYSTEM DATA MIGRATION
A method includes receiving a command to write data to a memory device and writing the data to a first memory tier of the memory device. The first memory tier of the memory device is a dynamic memory tier that utilizes single level cells (SLCs), multi-level cells (MLCs), and triple level cells (TLCs). The method further includes migrating the data from the first memory tier of the memory device to a second memory tier of the memory device. The second memory tier of the memory device is a static memory tier that utilizes quad level cells (QLCs).
