Abstract:
A method in a non-volatile memory, which includes multiple memory cells that store data using a predefined set of programming levels including an erased level, includes receiving a storage operation indicating a group of the memory cells that are to be retained without programming for a long time period. The memory cells in the group are set to a retention programming level that is different from the erased level. Upon preparing to program the group of memory cells with data, the group of memory cells is erased to the erased level and the data is then programmed in the group of memory cells.
Abstract:
A method for data storage includes storing data in a memory that includes one or more memory units, each memory unit including memory blocks. The stored data is compacted by copying at least a portion of the data from a first memory block to a second memory block, and subsequently erasing the first memory block. Upon detecting a failure in the second memory block after copying the portion of the data and before erasure of the first memory block, the portion of the data is recovered by reading the portion from the first memory block.

Abstract:
A method for data storage includes reading from a memory device data that is stored in a group of memory cells as respective analog values, and classifying readout errors in the read data into at least first and second different types, depending on zones in which the analog values fall. A memory quality that emphasizes the readout errors of the second type is assigned to the group of the memory cells, based on evaluated numbers of the readout errors of the first and second types.

Abstract:
The subject technology receives an input data set including rows of values for features of the input data set, each row including a different combination of values for the features. The subject technology classifies one or more rows of values as an anomaly based on anomaly scores determined for each of the rows of values. The subject technology determines a subset of the different features that affect the anomaly scores of the one or more rows classified as the anomaly. The subject technology determines a root cause for at least one of the rows classified as the anomaly based on values of the subset of the different features for the at least one of the rows. The subject technology provides an indication of the root cause to a device to enable the device to perform an action when encountering conditions corresponding to the root cause at a subsequent time.

Abstract:
A method for data storage includes, in a memory that includes multiple memory blocks, assessing a performance characteristic of the multiple memory blocks. At least some of the memory blocks are grouped into groups using a grouping criterion that groups together the memory blocks based on similarity in the assessed performance characteristic. Data is stored in the memory by applying parallel memory access operations in the groups of the memory blocks.
