In a method, an instance management node receives a request for creating a service instance; the instance management node obtains a cache configuration corresponding to the service instance; and the instance management node creates the service instance on a computing node, and creates a cache instance on the computing node based on the cache configuration. In this way, the service instance may provide a service by using the matched cache instance.

A memory device for storing data comprises a memory bank comprising a plurality of addressable memory cells, wherein the memory bank is divided into a plurality of segments. The memory device also comprises a cache memory operable for storing a second plurality of data words, wherein further each data word of the second plurality of data words is either awaiting write verification or is to be re-written into the memory bank. The cache memory is divided into a plurality of primary segments, wherein each primary segment of the cache memory is direct mapped to a corresponding segment of the plurality of segments of the memory bank, wherein each primary segment of the plurality of primary segments of the cache memory is sub-divided into a plurality of secondary segments, and each of the plurality of secondary segments comprises at least one counter for tracking a number of valid entries stored therein.

A computing system having memory components, including first memory and second memory. The computing system further includes a processing device, operatively coupled with the memory components, to: receive, in a prediction engine, usage history of pages in the second memory; train a prediction model based on the usage history; predict, by the prediction engine using the prediction model, likelihood of the pages being used in a subsequent period of time; and responsive to the likelihood predicted by the prediction engine, copy by a controller data in a page in the second memory to the first memory.

Devices and techniques are disclosed herein for more efficiently performing random write operation for a memory device. In an example, a method of operating a flash memory device can include receiving a write request at a flash memory device from a host, the write request including a first logical block address and write data, saving the write data to a location of the flash memory device having a first physical address, operating the flash memory device in a first mode when an amount of write data associated with the write request is above a threshold, operating the flash memory device in a second mode when an amount of write data is below the threshold, and comparing the amount of write data to the threshold.

A data processing system (2) including one or more transaction buffers (16, 18, 20) storing address translation data executes translation buffer invalidation instructions TLBI within respective address translation contexts VMID, ASID, X. Translation buffer invalidation signals generated as a consequence of execution of the translation buffer invalidation instructions are broadcast to respective translation buffers and include signals which specify the address translation context of the translation buffer invalidation instruction that was executed. This address translation context specified within the translation buffer invalidation signals is used to gate whether or not those translation buffer invalidation signals when received by translation buffers which are potential targets for the invalidation are or are not flushed. The address translation context data provided within the translation buffer invalidation signals may also be used to control whether or not local memory transactions for a local transactional memory access are or are not aborted upon receipt of the translation buffer invalidation signals.

A computing system includes a host and a storage device. The host includes a host memory, and the storage device includes a processor, a semiconductor memory device and a device memory which caches mapping information of the semiconductor memory device. In operation, the processor transmits to the host read data and mapping table entry information of a logical address region corresponding to the read data in response to a read request. The mapping table entry information is transmitted to the host based on features of the logical address region. Additionally, the host may transmit a read buffer request corresponding to the mapping table entry information to the storage device, and the storage device may transmit mapping information corresponding to the read buffer request to the host, which then stores the mapping information in the host memory.
