A system which identifies a memory device using a physical unclonable function. The system performs raw read operations on every page of a block; sorts the pages into low and high groups using an average number of ones based on the raw read operations; generates unordered page pairs by sequentially selecting a first page from the low group and a second page from the high group; generates ordered page pairs by selectively converting an order of pages in each pair of the unordered page pairs; and generates a sequence for identifying the selected block based on comparing the average number of ones for pages in each ordered page pair.

A method can include: receiving, in a memory device, a read request from a host device that is coupled to the memory device by an interface; decoding an address of the read request that is received from the interface; decoding a command of the read request to determine whether the read request is for an aligned address operation; maintaining the decoded address without modification when the read request is determined as being for the aligned address operation regardless of an actual alignment of the decoded address; and executing the read request as the aligned address operation on the memory device by using the decoded address.

A computer-implemented method for processing signals is provided including advantageously generating a temporally continuous weighted pulse position modulation (CW PPM) duration signal from an input analog signal, converting the CW PPM duration signal to a memory access signal, executing a multiply and accumulate (MAC) operation with the memory access signal, and advantageously generating the input analog signal from a result of the MAC operation by an activation function (AF).

Methods, systems, and devices for logic remapping techniques are described. A memory system may receive a write command to store information at a first logical address of the memory system. The memory system may generate a first entry of a logical-to-physical mapping that maps the first logical address with a first physical address that stores the information. The memory system may perform a defragmentation operation or other remapping operation. In such a defragmentation operation, the memory system may remap the first logical address to a second logical address, such that the second logical address is mapped to the first physical address. The memory system may generate a second entry of a logical-to-logical mapping that maps the first logical address with the second logical address.

There is provided a method for managing a solid state storage system with hybrid storage technologies. The method includes monitoring one or more storage request streams to identify operating mode characteristics therein from among a set of possible operating mode characteristics. The set of possible operating mode characteristics correspond to a set of available operating modes of the hybrid storage technologies. The method further includes identifying a current operating mode from among the set of available operating modes responsive to the identified operating mode characteristics. The method also includes predicting a likely future operating mode responsive to variations in workload requirements to generate at least one future operating mode prediction. The method additionally includes controlling at least one of data placement, wear leveling, and garbage collection, responsive to the at least one future operating mode prediction.

A memory controller, a memory system and a method of operating a memory controller controlling a memory device are described. The memory controller may include a workload manager in communication with the memory device in which data is written and is read, the workload manager configured to acquire an amount of write data written to the memory device during a preset reference time, calculate a workload parameter indicating a ratio of the amount of write data to a reference write amount, and store the workload parameter for the preset reference time, and a performance manager configured to control, based on the workload parameter, a certain background operation performed by the memory device during a period corresponding to the workload parameter.

A system includes a memory device, and a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory device, to perform operations including receiving a request to sequentially write data to a block of a memory device, in response to receiving the request, writing the data to the block to obtain sequentially written data, initiating accumulation of logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping data corresponding to the sequentially written data, determining that a criterion for terminating the accumulation of the L2P mapping data is satisfied, in response to determining that the criterion is satisfied, terminating the accumulation of the L2P mapping data to obtain accumulated L2P mapping data, and updating an L2P mapping data structure based on the accumulated L2P mapping data.

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums that provide increased bandwidth caches to process requests more efficiently for more than a single address at a time. This increased bandwidth allows for multiple cache operations to be performed in parallel. In some examples, to achieve this bandwidth increase, multiple copies of the hit logic are used in conjunction with dividing the cache into two or more segments with each segment storing values from different addresses. In some examples, the hit logic may detect hits for each segment. That is, the hit logic does not correspond to a particular cache segment. Each address value may be serviced by any of the plurality of hit logic units.

Methods, systems, and devices for memory operations are described. A first set of commands may be received for accessing a memory device. The first set of commands may include non-consecutive logical addresses that correspond to consecutively indexed physical addresses. A determination that the non-consecutive logical addresses correspond to consecutively indexed physical addresses may be determined based on a first mapping stored in a volatile memory. A second mapping may be transferred to the volatile memory based on the determination. The second mapping may include an indication of whether information stored at a set of physical address is valid. A second set of commands including non-consecutive logical addresses may be received for accessing the memory device. Data for the second set of commands that include the non-consecutive logical addresses may be retrieved from the memory device using the second mapping.

Data recovery systems and methods utilize object-based storage for providing a data protection and recovery methodology with low recovery point objectives, and for enabling both full recovery and point-in-time based recovery. Data generated at a protected site (e.g., via one or more virtual machines) is intercepted during write procedures to primary storage. The intercepted data is replicated via a replication log, provided as data objects, and transmitted to an object based storage system. During recovery, data objects may be retrieved through point-in-time based recovery directly by the systems of the protected site, and/or data objects may be provided via full recovery, for example, within a runtime environment of a recovery site, with minimal data loss and operation interruption by rehydrating data objects within the runtime environment via low-latency data transfer and rehydration systems.
