Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for executing a plurality of queued tasks in a memory. One example apparatus includes a memory configured to be coupled to a host. The memory is also configured to receive a plurality of memory access requests, a status request, and an execution command from the host, and to execute one or more of the plurality of memory access requests responsive to the execution command from the host. The execution command includes a plurality of respective indications that correspond to each respective memory access request of the plurality of memory access requests and that indicate whether the host is requesting the memory to execute each respective memory access request.
Abstract:
The present disclosure includes apparatuses, methods, and systems for data relocation in hybrid memory. A number of embodiments include a memory, wherein the memory includes a first type of memory and a second type of memory, and a controller configured to identify a subset of data stored in the first type of memory to relocate to the second type of memory based, at least in part, on a frequency at which an address corresponding to the subset of data stored in the first type of memory has been accessed during program operations performed on the memory.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for requesting ready status information from a memory. One example apparatus includes a memory and a host coupled to the memory. The host is configured to provide a plurality of memory access requests to the memory, to request ready status information regarding whether the memory is ready to execute a memory access request of the plurality of memory access requests, and to request execution of the memory access request responsive to the ready status information.
Abstract:
Various embodiments comprise apparatuses and methods including a method of reconfiguring partitions in a memory device as directed by a host. The method includes managing commands through a first interface controller to mapped portions of a first memory not having an attribute enhanced set, and mapping portions of a second memory having the attribute enhanced set through a second interface controller. Additional apparatuses and methods are described.
Abstract:
A memory device includes a memory component and controller circuitry. The memory component stores data and the controller circuitry receives, from a host electronic device, one or more commands of a memory system protocol. The one or more commands include at least one write command, the write command comprising one or more blocks of data to be stored in the memory component. Further, the one or more commands include metadata, attributes, or both related to the one or more blocks of data. The controller circuitry interprets and executes the one or more commands. Accordingly, the blocks are stored in the memory component. Further, the controller circuitry of the memory device has access to the metadata, attributes or both.
Abstract:
Various embodiments comprise devices to manage multiple memory types and reconfigure partitions in a memory device as directed by a host. In one embodiment, the apparatus is to manage commands through a first interface controller to mapped portions of a first memory not having an attribute enhanced set, and map portions of a second memory having the attribute enhanced set through a second interface controller. Additional devices are described.
Abstract:
In various embodiments, a single virtualized error correcting code (ECC) NAND controller executes an ECC algorithm and manages a stack of NAND flash memories. The virtualized ECC NAND controller allows the host processor to drive the stack of flash memory devices as a single NAND chip while the controller redirects the data to the selected NAND memory device in the stack. In various embodiments, a controller manages a plurality of NAND memory devices. The controller provides power to a select one of the plurality of NAND memory devices at a time to conserve overall power consumption of the storage system.
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed in which a first non-volatile memory includes blocks that store data, and a second memory that stores error correction information related to the blocks storing the data. The first memory and the second memory are of different types.

Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed in which a first non-volatile memory includes blocks that store data, and a second memory that stores overhead information related to the blocks storing the data. The amount of the second memory storing the overhead information related to the at least one block of the plurality of blocks is varied.
