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.

An apparatus comprises a memory having a data cache stored therein and a control circuit operably coupled thereto. The control circuit is configured to update that data cache in accordance with a scheduled update time. In the latter regards, by one approach, the control circuit computes selected entries for the data cache prior to the scheduled update time pursuant to a prioritization scheme to provide a substitute data cache. At the scheduled update time, the control circuit switches the substitute data cache for the data cache such that data queries made subsequent to the scheduled update time access the substitute data cache and not the data cache.

Systems and methods for coordinated memory-side cache prefetching and dynamic interleaving configuration modification involve modifying one or both of the prefetch distance or the prefetch degree used by prefetcher modules of one or more memory-side caches by modifying interleaving configuration data following detection of an interleaving reconfiguration trigger condition indicative, for example, of low prefetch accuracy, low prefetch coverage, high prefetch lateness, or a combination of these. In response an interleaving reconfiguration trigger condition, a processor modifies the interleaving configuration data for the processing system based on the prefetch performance characteristics associated with the interleaving reconfiguration trigger condition. In some embodiments, the interleaving configuration data is modified by changing which physical memory address indices are used to determine the bits that define the channel identification number to which that physical memory address is to be mapped.

Disclosed are systems and methods by which a storage device may process and return I/O commands to a host in the order in which the host provided the commands, thereby reducing host overhead, including but not limited to the following: receiving a first I/O command and a second I/O command, the first I/O command and the second I/O command being assigned a sequence tag, issuing the first I/O command and the second I/O command to one or more storage channels based on their respective sequence tags, collecting a command completion notice of the first I/O command or the second I/O command when the first I/O command or the second I/O command has been respectively completed; and issuing a command completion notification to a host based on the sequence tag of the associated completed first I/O command or the second I/O command.

A data processing system includes a plurality of snoopers, a processing unit including master, and a system fabric communicatively coupling the master and the plurality of snoopers. The master sets a retry operating mode for an interconnect operation in one of alternative first and second operating modes. The first operating mode is associated with a first type of snooper, and the second operating mode is associated with a different second type of snooper. The master issues a memory access request of the interconnect operation on the system fabric of the data processing system. Based on receipt of a combined response representing a systemwide coherence response to the request, the master delays an interval having a duration dependent on the retry operating mode and thereafter reissues the memory access request on the system fabric.

In various examples, a VPU and associated components may be optimized to improve VPU performance and throughput. For example, the VPU may include a min/max collector, automatic store predication functionality, a SIMD data path organization that allows for inter-lane sharing, a transposed load/store with stride parameter functionality, a load with permute and zero insertion functionality, hardware, logic, and memory layout functionality to allow for two point and two by two point lookups, and per memory bank load caching capabilities. In addition, decoupled accelerators may be used to offload VPU processing tasks to increase throughput and performance, and a hardware sequencer may be included in a DMA system to reduce programming complexity of the VPU and the DMA system. The DMA and VPU may execute a VPU configuration mode that allows the VPU and DMA to operate without a processing controller for performing dynamic region based data movement operations.

Techniques are disclosed relating to address mapping for message signaled interrupts. In some embodiments, an apparatus includes interrupt control circuitry configured to process, from multiple client circuits, message signaled interrupts that include addresses in an interrupt controller address space. First and second interface controller circuitry may control respective peripheral interfaces for multiple devices. Remap control circuitry may be configured to access a first table based on at least a portion of virtual addresses of a first message signaled interrupt from the first interface controller circuit and generate a first address in the interrupt controller address space based on an accessed entry in the first table and access a second table based on at least a portion of virtual addresses of a second message signaled interrupt from the second interface controller circuit and generate a second address in the interrupt controller address space based on an accessed entry in the second table.

A memory sub-system configured to dynamically generate a media layout to avoid media access collisions in concurrent streams. The memory sub-system can identify plurality of media units that are available to write data concurrently, select commands from the plurality of streams for concurrent execution in the available media units, generate and store a portion of a media layout dynamically in response to the commands being selected for concurrent execution in the plurality of media units, and executing the selected commands concurrently by storing data into the memory units according to physical addresses to which logical addresses used in the selected commands are mapped in the dynamically generated portion of the media layout.

Systems and methods are disclosed for the intelligent scheduling of garbage collection operations on a solid state memory. In certain embodiments, a method may comprise initiating a garbage collection process for a solid state memory (SSM) having a multiple die architecture, determining an order of die access for the garbage collection process based on an activity table indicating a use of one or more die in the multiple die architecture, and performing the garbage collection process based on the determined order of die access. Garbage collection reads may be directed to idle die to avoid conflicts with die busy performing other operations, thereby improving system performance.

A storage system manages correspondence relationships between physical addresses and logical addresses inside a storage device, as well as logical spaces provided by a plurality of storage devices, and when a determination is made as to whether first data and second data are stored in the same storage device in a case in which the first data and the second data are exchanged inside a logical space, and the determination is found to be affirmative, the storage device replaces the logical address corresponding to the first data with the logical address corresponding to the second data without changing the physical address of the physical area in which the first data is stored and the physical address of the physical area in which the second data is stored.
