NONVOLATILE MEMORY CAPABLE OF OUTPUTTING DATA USING WRAPAROUND SCHEME, COMPUTING SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME, AND READ METHOD THEREOF
20170235522 · 2017-08-17 ·

A read method executed by a computing system includes a processor, at least one nonvolatile memory, and at least one cache memory performing a cache function of the at least one nonvolatile memory. The method includes receiving a read request regarding a critical word from the processor. A determination is made whether a cache miss is generated, through a tag determination operation corresponding to the read request. Page data corresponding to the read request is received from the at least one nonvolatile memory in a wraparound scheme when a result of the tag determination operation indicates that the cache miss is generated. The critical word is output to the processor when the critical word of the page data is received.

20220035754 · 2022-02-03 ·

An interface of a memory sub-system can determine that a particular write command received from a host has a same address as a subsequently received write command from the host. The interface can delete the particular write command if it is still in the interface or send a signal to delete the particular write command if the write command has already been provided from the interface.

DISTRIBUTED CACHE SYSTEM UTILIZING MULTIPLE ERASURE CODES
20170228282 · 2017-08-10 ·

One embodiment provides a method comprising, for at least one data block, selecting an erasure code from a plurality of erasure codes based on at least one property of the at least one data block and information relating to a data cache, and encoding, utilizing at least one hardware processor, the at least one data block with the selected erasure code.

A semiconductor memory device may include: a memory cell array comprising: a Content Addressable Memory (CAM) cell block including CAM cells storing option Information including operation setting information for controlling an operation of the semiconductor memory device, and error check information for the operation setting information; and memory blocks including memory cells for storing data; an error detection unit suitable for reading out, in response to a CAM read command, the operation setting information and the error check information stored in the CAM cell block and outputting an error detection signal indicating whether there is an error; and a control logic suitable for determining and outputting a state of a ready/busy signal depending on the error detection signal.

Uncorrectable memory errors in pipelined CPUs

Uncorrectable memory errors in pipelined central processing units. A processor core may be connected to a memory system and it may include a processor cache. In response to determining an uncorrectable error in data stored in the memory system, the address of a memory location of the uncorrectable error is stored in an address buffer and a recovery procedure is performed for the processor core. When fetching data from a memory location and if it is determined that the address of this memory location is stored in the address buffer, the content of a cache line related to the address is moved into a quarantine buffer of the processor core. When detecting an error in the data of the moved cache line, a repair procedure for the data of this address is triggered.

Fully associative cache management
11456034 · 2022-09-27 · ·

Methods, systems, and devices for fully associative cache management are described. A memory subsystem may receive an access command for storing a first data word in a storage component associated with an address space. The memory subsystem may include a fully associative cache for storing the data words associated with the storage component. The memory subsystem may determine an address within the cache to store the first data word. For example, the memory subsystem may determine an address of the cache indicated by an address pointer (e.g., based on the order of the addresses) and determine a quantity of accesses associated with the data word stored in that cache address. Based on the indicated cache address and the quantity of accesses, the memory subsystem may store the first data word in the indicated cache address or a second cache address sequential to the indicated cache address.

ADAPTIVE PARITY TECHNIQUES FOR A MEMORY DEVICE
20220050745 · 2022-02-17 ·

Methods, systems, and devices for adaptive parity techniques for a memory device are described. An apparatus, such as a memory device, may use one or more error correction code (ECC) schemes, an error cache, or both to support access operations. The memory device may receive a command from a host device to read or write data. If the error cache includes an entry for the data, the memory device may read or write the data using a first ECC scheme. If the error cache does not include an entry for the data, the memory device may read or write the data without using an ECC scheme or using a second ECC scheme different than the first ECC scheme.

Ingress data placement

Server computers often include one or more input/output (I/O) adapter devices for communicating with a network or directly attached storage device. The data transfer latency for request can be reduced by utilizing ingress data placement logic to bypass the processor of the I/O adapter device. For example, host memory descriptors can be stored in a content addressable memory unit of the I/O adapter device to facilitate placement of requested data.

Cache for file-based dispersed storage

A method obtains at least part of a file from a dispersed storage network (DSN) memory, and stores it in a data object cache. When the file is changed, a determination is made about where to store the changed file portions: in the data object cache or in the DSN. The changed file portions, for example a new copy of the part of the file obtained from the DSN, are encoded utilizing an error coding dispersal storage function, and stored in either the data object cache, or in the DSN memory.

The method includes accessing a plurality of data lines in a cache set, generating a plurality of corrected data from a plurality of initial data based on a plurality of error correction codes (ECCs), and selecting a respective corrected data of the plurality of corrected data based on a respective way of a plurality of ways. Each of the plurality of data lines includes a respective data field of a plurality of data fields and a respective ECC field of a plurality of ECC fields. The plurality of initial data are stored in the plurality of data fields and the plurality of ECCs are stored in the plurality of ECC fields. Each of the plurality of ways is associated with a respective data line of the plurality of data lines.
