Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that identifies a plurality of fully correctable patterns associated with an error correction code (ECC) in a memory controller, detects one or more correctable errors in a memory module coupled to the memory controller, and generates an alert if an error-bit pattern of the one or more correctable errors does not match one or more of the plurality of fully correctable patterns.

A method includes generating a plurality of parity blocks from a plurality of lines of data blocks. The plurality of lines of data blocks are stored in data sections of memory of a cluster of computing devices of the computing system by distributing storage of individual data blocks of the plurality of lines of data blocks among unique data sections of the cluster of computing devices. The plurality of parity blocks are stored in parity sections of memory of the cluster of computing devices by distributing storage of parity blocks of the plurality of parity blocks among unique parity sections of the cluster of computing devices.

Devices and techniques for NAND device mixed parity management are described herein. A first portion of data that corresponds to a first data segment and a second data segment—respectively defined with respect to a structure of a NAND device—are received. A parity value using the first portion of data and the second portion of data is computed and then stored for error correction operations.

A computer-implemented method includes fetching, by a controller, data using a plurality of memory channels of a memory system. The method further includes detecting, by the controller, that a first memory channel of the plurality of memory channels has not returned data. The method further includes marking, by the controller, the first memory channel from the plurality of memory channels as unavailable. The method further includes, in response to a fetch, reconstructing, by the controller, fetch data based on data received from all memory channels other than the first memory channel.

A method includes writing sets of encoded data slices to storage units of a storage network in accordance with error encoding parameters, where for a set of encoded data slices, the error encoding parameters include an error coding number and a decode threshold number, the error coding number indicates a number of encoded data slices that results when a data segment is encoded using an error encoding function and the decode threshold number indicates a minimum number needed to recover the data segment. The method further includes monitoring processing of the writing the sets of encoded data slices to produce write processing performance information. When the write processing performance information compares unfavorably to a desired write performance range, the method further includes adjusting at least one of the error coding number and the decode threshold number to produce adjusted error encoding parameters for writing subsequent encoded data slices.

The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for storage media programming with adaptive write buffer release. In some aspects, a media write manager of a storage media system stores, to a write buffer, data received from a host interface. The media write manager determines parity information for the data stored to the write buffer and then releases the write buffer on completion of determining the parity information for the data. The media write manager may then write at least a portion of the data to storage media after the write buffer is released. By releasing the write buffer of the storage media system after determining the parity information, the write buffer is freed more quickly, which may result in improved write buffer utilization and increased write throughput of the storage media system.

The present technology relates to an electronic device. According to the present technology, a memory device may include memory cells respectively connected to a plurality of word lines, a peripheral circuit configured to perform a read operation of reading data stored in selected memory cells connected to a selected word line among the memory cells, and a read operation controller configured to control the peripheral circuit to apply a pass voltage to adjacent word lines adjacent to the selected word line during the read operation, discharge the pass voltage to a target pass voltage less than the pass voltage after a predetermined time elapses, and obtain data stored in the selected memory cells through bit lines connected to the selected memory cells after a target read time elapses, after a voltage applied to the adjacent word lines is discharged to the target pass voltage.

Transferring data between memories may include reading data associated with a memory transfer transaction from a first memory, determining whether a bypass indication associated with the memory transfer transaction is asserted, and transferring the data from the first memory to a second memory. The transferring may include bypassing the first-processing if the bypass indication is asserted. The transferring may further include bypassing second-processing the data if the bypass indication is asserted. Following bypassing the second-processing, the data may be stored in the second memory.
