    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for processing sequential writes to a block group of physical blocks in a memory device. Sequential write data for a plurality of consecutive logical addresses is received and a determination is made of consecutive physical blocks comprising a block group. Each of the physical blocks has data for a plurality of the consecutive logical addresses. The sequential write data is written to consecutive physical data locations having data for the determined consecutive physical blocks of the block group. The block group metadata for the block group is updated.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory controller may determine that one or more neighboring memory cells associated with a target memory cell in a memory device are to be refreshed. The controller may generate a command associated with refreshing the one or more neighboring memory cells. The controller may transfer the command from the memory controller to the memory device containing the target memory cell. The command may direct the memory device to refresh the neighboring memory cells and/or return one or more addresses associated with the neighboring memory cells.

    Abstract: Write filter hardware is provided with circuitry to receive a signal to switch the write filter from a disabled state to an enabled state for a given range of addresses in a shared memory. A write attempt by a host processor to the range of addresses is identified, where access to the shared memory is shared with an accelerator device. The write filter hardware causes the write attempt to be dropped when the hardware write filter is in the enabled state for the given range of addresses.

    Abstract: A storage circuit includes a buffer coupled between the storage controller and the nonvolatile memory devices. The circuit includes one or more groups of nonvolatile memory (NVM) devices, a storage controller to control access to the NVM device, and the buffer. The buffer is coupled between the storage controller and the NVM devices. The buffer is to re-drive signals on a bus between the NVM devices and the storage controller, including synchronizing the signals to a clock signal for the signals. The circuit can include a data buffer, a command buffer, or both.
