Space of a data storage memory of a data storage memory system is reclaimed by determining heat metrics of data stored in the data storage memory; determining relocation metrics related to relocation of the data within the data storage memory; determining utility metrics of the data relating the heat metrics to the relocation metrics for the data; and making the data whose utility metric fails a utility metric threshold, available for space reclamation. Thus, data that otherwise may be evicted or demoted, but that meets or exceeds the utility metric threshold, is exempted from space reclamation and is instead maintained in the data storage memory.

A method for managing cache memory in a flash cache architecture. The method includes providing a storage cache controller, at least a flash memory comprising a flash controller, and at least a backend storage device, and maintaining read cache metadata for tracking on the flash memory cached data to be read, and write cache metadata for tracking on the flash memory data expected to be cached.

Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling data management operations including storage of data in solid state storage of a solid state storage system. Input data is stored in successive groups of data write locations in the solid state storage. Each group comprises a set of write locations in each of a plurality of logical subdivisions of the solid state storage. The input data to be stored in each group is encoded in accordance with first and second linear error correction codes. The encoding is performed by constructing from the input data to be stored in each group a logical array of rows and columns of data symbols. The rows and columns are respectively encoded in accordance with the first and second linear error correction codes to produce an encoded array in which all rows correspond to respective first codewords and columns correspond to respective second codewords.

It is provided a method for decoding a sequence of bits encoded by a LPDC code. The method comprises providing a set of bit states, including a first state and a second state, and a set of conditions to change a bit state including a first condition 5 and a second condition. The first condition and the second condition are different. The method comprises reading the value of each bit of the sequence, associating each bit to a respective state of the set according to the values as read, determining that an evaluated condition is met and changing the state of the target bit as a result of the condition being met. The method may then set the value of the target bit of the 10 sequence according to the state thereof. Such a method provides a solution for decoding a sequence of bits encoded by a LDPC code with better performance than the classic bit-flipping algorithm with only a slight increase in complexity.
摘要:
Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for managing data in a first cache and a second cache. A reference count is maintained in the second cache for the page when the page is stored in the second cache. It is determined that the page is to be promoted from the second cache to the first cache. In response to determining that the reference count is greater than zero, the page is added to a Least Recently Used (LRU) end of an LRU list in the first cache. In response to determining that the reference count is less than or equal to zero, the page is added to a Most Recently Used (LRU) end of the LRU list in the first cache.

Provided are a system, method, and computer program product for managing cache memory to cache data units in at least one storage device. A cache controller is coupled to at least two flash bricks, each comprising a flash memory. Metadata indicates a mapping of the data units to the flash bricks caching the data units, wherein the metadata is used to determine the flash bricks on which the cache controller caches received data units. The metadata is updated to indicate the flash brick having the flash memory on which data units are cached.
摘要:
A method for optimizing locations of physical data accessed by one or more client applications interacting with a storage system, with the storage system comprising at least two redundancy groups having physical memory spaces and data bands. Each of the data bands corresponds to physical data stored on several of the physical memory spaces. A virtualized logical address space includes client data addresses utilizable by the one or more client applications. A storage controller is configured to map the client data addresses onto the data bands, such that a mapping is obtained, wherein the one or more client applications can access physical data corresponding to the data bands.
摘要:
A memory management system and method for managing memory blocks of a memory device of a computer. The system includes a free block data structure including free memory blocks for writing, and sorting the free memory blocks in a predetermined order based on block write-erase endurance cycle count and receiving new user-write requests to update existing data and relocation write requests to relocate existing data separately, a user-write block pool for receiving youngest blocks holding user-write data (i.e., any page being updated frequently) from the free block data structure, a relocation block pool for receiving oldest blocks holding relocation data (i.e., any page being updated infrequently) from the free block data structure, and a garbage collection pool structure for selecting at least one of user-write blocks and relocation blocks for garbage collection, wherein the selected block is moved back to the free block data structure upon being relocated and erased.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method of managing a memory of a non-volatile solid state memory device by balancing write/erase cycles among blocks to level block usage. The method includes: monitoring an occurrence of an error during a read operation in a memory unit of the device, wherein the error is correctable by error-correcting code; and programming the memory unit according to the monitored occurrence of the error; wherein the step of monitoring the occurrence of an error is carried out for at least one block; and wherein said step of programming comprises wear-leveling the monitored block according the error monitored for the monitored block. A computer system and a computer program-product is also provided.The non-volatile solid state memory device includes: a memory unit having data stored therein; and a controller with a logic for programming the memory unit according to a monitored occurrence of an error during a read operation. The method includes: monitoring an occurrence of an error during a read operation in a memory unit of the device; and programming the memory unit according to the monitored occurrence of the error.
