    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 related to hybrid memory management. An example apparatus can include a first memory array, a number of second memory arrays, and a controller coupled to the first memory array and the number of second memory arrays configured to execute a write operation, wherein execution of the write operation writes data to the first memory array starting at a location indicated by a write cursor, and place the write cursor at an updated location in the first memory array upon completing execution of the write operation, wherein the updated location is a next available location in the first memory array.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses, and methods for data state synchronization. An example apparatus includes performing a write operation to store a data pattern in a group of resistance variable memory cells corresponding to a selected managed unit having a first status, updating a status of the selected managed unit from the first status to a second status responsive to performing the write operation, and providing data state synchronization for a subsequent write operation performed on the group by placing all of the variable resistance memory cells of the group in a same state prior to performing the subsequent write operation to store another data pattern in the group of resistance variable memory cells.

    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a memory comprising a plurality of managed units corresponding to respective groups of resistance variable memory cells and a controller coupled to the memory. The controller is configured to cause performance of a cleaning operation on a selected group of the memory cells and generation of error correction code (ECC) parity data. The controller may be further configured to cause performance of a write operation on the selected group of cells to write an inverted state of at least one data value to the selected group of cells and write an inverted state of at least one of the ECC parity data to the selected group of cells.
