Abstract: An apparatus can have a memory comprising an array of resistance variable memory cells and a controller. The controller can be configured to receive to a dedicated command to write all cells in a number of groups of the resistance variable memory cells to a first state without transferring any host data corresponding to the first state to the number of groups. The controller can be configured to, in response to the dedicated command, perform a read operation on each respective group to determine states of the cells in each respective group, determine from the read operation any cells in each respective group programmed to a second state, and write only the cells determined to be in the second state to the first state.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for providing energy information to memory. An embodiment includes determining, by a host, that a charge level of an energy source coupled to the host has reached or exceeded a threshold value, and transmitting, from the host to a memory device coupled to the host, signaling indicative of an energy mode for the memory device, wherein the signaling is transmitted based at least in part on determining that the charge level of the energy source has reached or exceeded the threshold.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to providing transaction metadata. Providing transaction metadata includes providing an address of data stored in the memory device using an address bus coupled to the memory device and the controller. Providing transaction metadata also includes transferring the data, associated with the address, from the memory device using a data bus coupled to the memory device and the controller. Providing transaction metadata further includes transferring a sideband signal synchronously with the data bus and in conjunction with the address bus using a transaction metadata bus coupled to the memory device and the controller.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for performing memory operations are described. In an example apparatus, a memory is configured to receive a memory instruction and perform a memory operation responsive to the memory instruction. The memory is further configured to provide an acknowledgement indicative of an end of the variable latency period wherein the acknowledgement includes information related to an acceptance of a memory instruction. Data associated with the memory instruction is exchanged with the memory following the acknowledgement. In an example method a read instruction and an address from which read data is to be read is received. A write operation is suspended responsive to the read instruction and an acknowledgement indicative of an end of the variable latency period is provided. Read data for the read instruction is provided and the write operation is continued to be suspended for a hold-off period following completion of the read operation.

Abstract: A controller of a memory device controls placement of data blocks by receiving, from a host electronic device, one or more commands of a memory system protocol. The commands include a write command with blocks of data to be stored in the memory device and contextual file system data for the blocks of data. The contextual file system data includes file metadata, file attributes, or both that identify an association of the one or more blocks of data with a file. The file is made up of the one or more blocks of data. The controller identifies the association of the one or more blocks of data with the file and executes the one or more commands, such that the one or more blocks of data are stored in the memory device with a placement based upon the association.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for variable latency memory operations are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may include a memory configured to provide first information during a variable latency period indicating the memory is not available to perform a command, wherein the first information is indicative of a remaining length of the variable latency period, the remaining length is one of a relatively short, normal, or long period of time, the memory configured to provide second information in response to receiving the command after the latency period.
