Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media for requesting programming of N portions of a plurality of non-volatile memories (NVMs) in accordance with received data. Redundancy information sufficient to recover from failures of M of the N portions for which programming was requested is updated in response to the requesting programming. Upon identifying one to M of the N portions that have failed the programming, re-programming of the one to M of the N portions is requested in accordance with data calculated based at least in part on the redundancy information.

Abstract: Non-volatile memory program failure recovery via redundant arrays enables higher programming bandwidth and/or reduced latency in some storage subsystem implementations, e.g. a solid-state disk. Data to program N portions of a plurality of non-volatile memories is received at a non-volatile memory controller. The data includes particular data to program a particular one of the N portions. The particular data is stored in an allocated buffer associated with the non-volatile memory controller. Programming the particular data to a particular one of the non-volatile memories is begun. Redundancy information sufficient to recover from failures of M of the N portions is updated. The allocated buffer is freed. At least one of the storing, the beginning programming, the updating, and the freeing is in response to the receiving of the particular data. The freeing is prior to the particular non-volatile memory completing the programming.

Abstract: Storage device FirmWare (FW) and manufacturing software techniques include access to FW images and communication of a manufacturing software tool. The manufacturing software tool enables download of the FW images into an I/O device and controlling a manufacturing test of the I/O device that is a storage device providing a storage capability. Execution of the downloaded FW images enables an I/O controller of the I/O device to provide the storage capability via operation with one or more selected types of flash memory devices. The selected types are selected from a plurality of flash memory types that the I/O controller is capable of operating with by executing appropriate ones of the FW images. Optionally the manufacturing test includes testing the storage capability of the I/O device. The techniques further include an SSD manufacturing self-test capability.

Abstract: Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media for programming, by a storage controller, particular data stored in an allocated buffer to a particular one of a plurality of non-volatile memories (NVMs). Redundancy information may be updated sufficient to recover from failures of the plurality of NVMs. The allocated buffer may be freed prior to and independent of the particular NVM completing the programming. The particular data may continue to be programmed independent of freeing the allocated buffer. The continuing of the programming of the particular data may include determining whether there are any failures of the programming the particular data.

Abstract: Higher-level redundancy information computation enables a Solid-State Disk (SSD) controller to provide higher-level redundancy capabilities to maintain reliable operation in a context of failures of non-volatile (e.g. flash) memory elements during operation of an SSD. A first portion of higher-level redundancy information is computed using parity coding via an XOR of all pages in a portion of data to be protected by the higher-level redundancy information. A second portion of the higher-level redundancy information is computed using a weighted-sum technique, each page in the portion being assigned a unique non-zero “index” as a weight when computing the weighted-sum. Arithmetic is performed over a finite field (such as a Galois Field). The portions of the higher-level redundancy information are computable in any order, such as an order based on order of read operation completion of non-volatile memory elements.
