TEMPERATURE BASED DECISION FEEDBACK EQUALIZATION RETRAINING
20230046702 · 2023-02-16 ·

An information handling system includes a memory subsystem and a basic/input out system (BIOS). The BIOS performs multiple trainings of the memory subsystem, and each of the trainings is performed at a different temperature. The BIOS stores multiple derating values in a derating table of the BIOS, and each of the derating values corresponds to a respective tap value at a respective temperature. During a subsequent power on self test of the information handling system, the BIOS performs a first training of the memory subsystem, and stores a first set of tap values. During a runtime of the information handling system, a memory controller determines whether a temperature of the information handling system has changed by a predetermined amount. In response to the temperature changing by the predetermined amount, the memory controller utilizes the derating values in the derating table to automatically update the tap values.

Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for managing temporarily retired blocks of a memory system are described. In some examples, aspects of a memory system or memory device may be configured to determine an error for a block of memory cells. For example, a controller may determine an existence of the error and may temporarily retire the block. A media management operation may be performed on the temporarily retired block and, depending on one or more characteristics of the error, the temporarily retired block may be enabled or retired.

Maintenance command interfaces for a memory system

Methods, systems, and devices for maintenance command interfaces for a memory system are described. A host system and a memory system may be configured according to a shared protocol that supports enhanced management of maintenance operations between the host system and memory system, such as maintenance operations to resolve error conditions at a physical address of a memory system. In some examples, a memory system may initiate maintenance operations based on detections performed at the memory system, and the memory system may provide a maintenance indication for the host system. In some examples, a host system may initiate maintenance operations based on detections performed at the host system. In various examples, the described maintenance signaling may include capability signaling between the host system and memory system, status indications between the host system and memory system, and other maintenance management techniques.

11579910 · 2023-02-14 · ·

Techniques are provided for enforcing policies at a sub-logical unit number (LUN) granularity, such as at a virtual disk or virtual machine granularity. A block range of a virtual disk of a virtual machine stored within a LUN is identified. A quality of service policy object is assigned to the block range to create a quality of service workload object. A target block range targeted by an operation is identified. A quality of service policy of the quality of service policy object is enforced upon the operation using the quality of service workload object based upon the target block range being within the block range of the virtual disk.

Processing rest API requests based on resource usage satisfying predetermined limits

A request manager analyzes API calls from a client to a host application for state and performance information. If current utilization of host application processing or memory footprint resources exceed predetermined levels, then the incoming API call is not forwarded to the application. If current utilization of the host application processing and memory resources do not exceed the predetermined levels, then the request manager quantifies the processing or memory resources required to report the requested information and determines whether projected utilization of the host application processing or memory resources inclusive of the resources required to report the requested information exceed predetermined levels. If the predetermined levels are not exceeded, then the request manager forwards the API call to the application for processing.
