Lookahead priority collection to support priority elevation
A queuing requester for access to a memory system is provided. Transaction requests are received from two or more requestors for access to the memory system. Each transaction request includes an associated priority value. A request queue of the received transaction requests is formed in the queuing requester. Each transaction request includes an associated priority value. A highest priority value of all pending transaction requests within the request queue is determined. An elevated priority value is selected when the highest priority value is higher than the priority value of an oldest transaction request in the request queue; otherwise the priority value of the oldest transaction request is selected. The oldest transaction request in the request queue with the selected priority value is then provided to the memory system. An arbitration contest with other requesters for access to the memory system is performed using the selected priority value.
Multi-Rate ECC Parity For Fast SLC Read
A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller is configured to create a dual parity matrix. The dual parity matrix includes a full parity form that includes a payload, a first parity portion, and a second parity portion and a reduced parity form that includes the payload and the first parity portion. The second parity portion is 0. The controller is further configured to create an incremental parity construction matrix. The incremental parity construction matrix includes two arrays. A first array includes a first payload portion, a first, first parity portion, and a first, second parity portion and a second array includes a second payload portion, a second, first parity portion, and a second, second parity portion. The incremental parity construction matrix is arranged in either a block triangular construction or a block diagonal construction.
System and method for using a directory to recover a coherent system from an uncorrectable error
A system, and corresponding method, is described for correcting an uncorrectable error in a coherent system. The uncorrectable error is detecting using an error detecting code, such as parity or SECDED. The cache controller or agent calculates a set of possible addresses. The directory is queried to determine which one of the set of possible addresses is the correct address. The agent and/or cache controller is updated with the correct address or way. The invention can be implemented in any chip, system, method, or HDL code that perform protection schemes and require ECC calculation, of any kind. Embodiments of the invention enable IPs that use different protections schemes to reduce power consumption and reduce bandwidth access to more efficiently correct errors and avoid a system restart when an uncorrectable error occurs.
Network coding based on feedback
A transmitter may be configured to determine a coding rate at which to encode data packets based on a quantity of encoded packets used by a receiver for recovery of one data packet. The transmitter may be further configured to transmit a set of encoded packets generated at the coding rate to the receiver. The receiver may be configured to receive, from the transmitter, encoded packets carrying a set of data packets encoded at a coding rate. The receiver may be further configured to transmit, to the transmitter, feedback indicating a quantity of a set of the encoded packets used for recovery of one data packet of the set of data packets. The receiver may be further configured to receive, from the transmitter, other encoded packets carrying another set of data packets encoded at another coding rate.
Data storage device processing problematic patterns as erasures
A data storage device is disclosed comprising a non-volatile storage medium (NVSM). Problematic patterns in a block of input data are identified, and the problematic patterns are relocated from an initial location to an erasure region of the block to generate a modified block. The modified block is erasure encoded into an erasure codeword, at least part of the erasure codeword is stored in the NVSM.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CHANNEL STATE INFORMATION FEEDBACK USING SUB-CODEBOOK BASED TRELLIS CODED QUANTIZATION
Aspects of the disclosure provide for methods and systems for Sub-codebook based Trellis Coded Quantization for CSI Feedback. An aspect of the disclosure provides method executed by a receiver. The method includes receiving a signal from a transmitter, via a communication channel between the receiver and the transmitter. The method further includes estimating parameters associated with the channel based on the received signal. The method further includes obtaining phase information from the estimated parameters. The method further includes applying a trellis coded quantization (TCQ) scheme to the obtained phase information by mapping each sub-codebook index of a set of sub-codebook indices to output bits of each trellis branch making the distance between sub-codebooks maximally equal. The method further includes transmitting a channel state information (CSI) measurement feedback to the transmitter, the CSI measurement feedback based on the TCQ scheme and comprising one or more of: a beginning state, input bits to the TCQ scheme, and a sub-codebook index.

ADJUSTING A VARIABLE PARAMETER TO INCREASE RELIABILITY OF STORED DATA
A method for adjustable error correction in a storage cluster is provided. The method includes determining health of a non-volatile memory of a non-volatile solid-state storage unit of each of a plurality of storage nodes in a storage cluster on a basis of per flash package, per flash die, per flash plane, per flash block, or per flash page. The determining is performed by the storage cluster. The plurality of storage nodes is housed within a chassis that couples the storage nodes as the storage cluster. The method includes adjusting erasure coding across the plurality of storage nodes based on the health of the non-volatile memory and distributing user data throughout the plurality of storage nodes through the erasure coding. The user data is accessible via the erasure coding from a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes if any of the plurality of storage nodes are unreachable.
