The technology disclosed herein pertains to a system and method for providing the ability for a computational storage device (CSD) to understand data layout based upon automatic detection or host identification of the file system occupying a non-volatile memory express (NVMe) namespace, the method including receiving, at a CSD, a request to process a file using a computation program stored on the CSD, detecting a filesystem associated with the file within a namespace of CSD, mounting the filesystem on the CSD, interpreting a data structure associated with the file within the namespace, and reading the physical data blocks associated with the file into a computational storage memory (CSM) of the CSD.

A storage system. In some embodiments, the storage system includes a plurality of object stores, and a plurality of data managers, connected to the object stores. The plurality of data managers may include a plurality of processing circuits. A first processing circuit of the plurality of processing circuits may be configured to process primarily input-output operations, and a second processing circuit of the plurality of processing circuits may be configured to process primarily input-output completions.

A method for memory access may include receiving, at a device, a first memory access request for a parallel workload, receiving, at the device, a second memory access request for the parallel workload, processing, by a first logical device of the device, the first memory access request, and processing, by a second logical device of the device, the second memory access request. Processing the first memory access request and processing the second memory access request may include parallel processing the first and second memory access requests. The first logical device may include one or more first resources. The method may further include configuring the first logical device based on one or more first parameters of the parallel workload. The method may further include allocating one or more first resources to the first logical device based on at least one of the one or more first parameters of the parallel workload.

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.

In an NVMe-based storage system, a host is connected to an NVMe controller through a PCIe bus, and the NVMe controller is connected to a storage medium. The NVMe controller receives from the host a data packet that carries payload data and an association identifier. The association identifier associates the payload data with a write instruction. The NVMe controller obtains the write instruction according to the association identifier, and then writes the payload data into the storage medium according to the write instruction.

Devices and techniques for a storage backed memory package save trigger are disclosed herein. Data can be received via a first interface. The data is stored in a volatile portion of the memory package. Here, the memory package includes a second interface arranged to connect a host to a controller in the memory package. A reset signal can be received at the memory package via the first interface. The data stored in the volatile portion of the memory package can be saved to a non-volatile portion of the memory package in response to the reset signal.

A high-capacity system memory may be built from both quasi-volatile (QV) memory circuits, logic circuits, and static random-access memory (SRAM) circuits. Using the SRAM circuits as buffers or cache for the QV memory circuits, the system memory may achieve access latency performance of the SRAM circuits and may be used as code memory. The system memory is also capable of direct memory access (DMA) operations and includes an arithmetic logic unit for performing computational memory tasks. The system memory may include one or more embedded processor. In addition, the system memory may be configured for multi-channel memory accesses by multiple host processors over multiple host ports. The system memory may be provided in the dual-in-line memory module (DIMM) format.

Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for reducing design complexity and critical path timing challenges of credit return logic. A wide bus supports simultaneous transmission of multiple flits, one per lane of the wide bus. A source device transmitting flits on a wide bus selects from among multiple credit return options to ensure that only one of the multiple flits being simultaneously transmitted includes a credit return value. In some example embodiments, the receiving device checks only the flit of one lane of the wide bus (e.g., lane 0) for credit return data. In other example embodiments, the receiving device uses a bitwise-OR to combine the credit return data of all received flits in a single cycle.

The master interface generates copy data by copying the first data, and generates an error detection code based on the copy data. The protocol conversion unit generates the second data by converting the first data from the first protocol to the second protocol. The slave interface detects errors in the copy data based on the error detection code. The slave interface also generates the first verification data by performing a conversion from one of the first protocol or the second protocol to the other for one of the second data or copy data. In addition, the slave interface compares the second verification data with the first verification data, using the other of the second data or copy as the second verification data.

A Memory Device (MD) for storing temporary data designated for volatile storage by a processor and persistent data designated for non-volatile storage by the processor. An address is associated with a first location in a volatile memory array and with a second location in a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) array of the MD. Data is written in the first location, and flushed from the first location to the second location. A refresh rate for the first location is reduced after flushing the data from the first location until after data is written again to the first location. In another aspect, a processor designates a memory page in a virtual memory space as volatile or non-volatile based on data allocated to the memory page, and defines the volatility mode for the MD based on whether the memory page is designated as volatile or non-volatile.
