Abstract:
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system may include a wear level handler to start a current rotation of a wear level algorithm through a plurality of cache line addresses in a region of memory and a location storer to store a rotation count of the rotation. The system may also include a data mover to move a cache line from the selected cache line address to a gap cache line address corresponding to the additional cache line address and a metadata setter to set a metadata of the gap cache line address to a value corresponding to the current rotation. The system may also include a current position determiner to determine, based on the value of at least one metadata and the rotation count, a current position of the current rotation after a power loss event.
