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.

A memory controller for controlling a memory operation of a memory device includes: an error correction code (ECC) circuit configured to detect an error of first read data read from the memory device and correct the error; an error type detection logic configured to write first write data to the memory device, compare second read data with the first write data, detect an error bit of the second read data based on a result of the comparing, and output information about an error type identified by the error bit; and a data patterning logic configured to change a bit pattern of input data to reduce an error of the second read data based on the information about the error type.

An illustrative method includes receiving a write request to write payload data to a virtual storage volume; transmitting the write request to a plurality of storage nodes each storing a replica of the virtual storage volume; acknowledging the write request only after a quorum of the storage nodes has stored the payload in their respective kernel memory; and flushing the payloads stored in each kernel memory to persistent storage only after a threshold number of outstanding write requests that have been acknowledged, but not yet flushed, has been reached, the flushing configured to optimize performance for synchronous workloads.

A vehicle memory sub-system can be switched from a normal mode to a pre-shutdown mode and initiate a media management operation before shutting down. The mode switch and/or media management operation can be performed in response to receiving a shutdown or pre-shutdown command for the vehicle. After completion of the memory management operation the vehicle and/or memory sub-system can be shutdown.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods provide for a memory controller to manage a tiered memory including a zoned namespace drive memory capacity tier. For example, a memory controller includes logic to translate a standard zoned namespace drive address associated with a user write to a tiered memory address write. The tiered memory address write is associated with the tiered memory including the persistent memory cache tier and the zoned namespace drive memory capacity tier. A plurality of tiered memory address writes are collected, where the plurality of tiered memory address writes include the tiered memory address write and other tiered memory address writes in the persistent memory cache tier. The collected plurality of tiered memory address writes are transferred from the persistent memory cache tier to the zoned namespace drive memory capacity tier, via an append-type zoned namespace drive write command.

Volume migration among a set of storage systems synchronously replicating a dataset for a volume, where volume migration includes: initiating a transfer of the volume in dependence upon determining that a performance metric for accessing the volume stored on a first storage system would improve if transferred to a second storage system; and during the transfer of the volume: determining status information for the transfer; intercepting an I/O operation directed to the volume; and directing, in dependence upon the status information, the I/O operation to either the first storage system or the second storage system.

A variety of applications can include systems and/or methods of partial save of memory in an apparatus such as a non-volatile dual in-line memory module. In various embodiments, a set of control registers of a non-volatile dual in-line memory module can be configured to contain an identification of a portion of dynamic random-access memory of the non-volatile dual in-line memory module from which to back up content to non-volatile memory of the non-volatile dual in-line memory module. Registers of the set of control registers may also be allotted to contain an amount of content to transfer from the dynamic random-access memory content to the non-volatile memory. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

A method for block addressing is provided. The method includes moving content of a data block referenced by a logical block address (LBA) from a first physical block corresponding to a first physical block address (PBA) to a second physical block corresponding to a second PBA, wherein prior to the moving a logical map maps the LBA to a middle block address (MBA) and a middle map maps the MBA to the first PBA and in response to the moving, updating the middle map to map the MBA to the second PBA instead of the first PBA.

In one embodiment, a processor includes a memory hierarchy and a core coupled to the memory hierarchy. The memory hierarchy stores encrypted data, and the core includes circuitry to access the encrypted data stored in the memory hierarchy, decrypt the encrypted data to yield decrypted data, perform an entropy test on the decrypted data, and update a processor state based on a result of the entropy test. The entropy test may include determining a number of data entities in the decrypted data whose values are equal to one another, determining a number of adjacent data entities in the decrypted data whose values are equal to one another, determining a number of data entities in the decrypted data whose values are equal to at least one special value from a set of special values, or determining a sum of n highest data entity value frequencies.

This disclosure relates to a method for situation-dependent storage of data of a system, in which data of the system is detected, is amalgamated in at least one data block and is stored in a volatile memory, and in which, in response to the occurrence of at least one predefined trigger event in the at least one data block, amalgamated data are transferred from the volatile memory into a read-only memory, and in which a time window, in which the data for the at least one data block is captured, is selected automatically and dynamically according to the at least one trigger event.
