    摘要: Apparatus and method for data management in a memory, such as but not limited to a flash memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a first hash value associated with a first set of data stored in a memory is compared to a second hash value associated with a second set of data pending storage to the memory. The second set of data is stored in the memory responsive to a mismatch between the first and second hash values.

    摘要: The read channel of a solid state non-volatile memory may be configured to compensate for shifts in the threshold voltages of memory cells of the memory. A log of write time information and write temperature information from one or more write operations is stored in a data unit header. The read channel configuration, which may include reference voltages used for the read operation, is determined using the write time information and the write temperature information. Memory cells of the data unit are read using the configured read channel. A historical profile spanning multiple write operations may also be developed and used to configure the read channel.

    摘要: Approaches for implementing a controller for a hybrid memory that includes a main memory and a cache for the main memory are discussed. The controller comprises a hierarchy of abstraction layers, wherein each abstraction layer is configured to provide at least one component of a cache management structure. Each pair of abstraction layers utilizes processors communicating through an application programming interface (API). The controller is configured to receive incoming memory access requests from a host processor and to manage outgoing memory access requests routed to the cache using the plurality of abstraction layers.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for verifying whether metadata identifies a most current version of data stored in a memory space. In accordance with various embodiments, a physical location within a first portion of a solid-state memory space is identified by metadata as storing a current version of user data having a selected logical address. A reverse search is performed upon a second portion of the memory space to determine whether the physical address identified by the metadata stores a stale version of the user data, or whether the physical address stores the current version.

    摘要: Completion times of data storage operations targeted to a non-volatile, solid-state memory device are measured. Wear of the memory device is estimated using the measured completion times, and life cycle management operations are performed to affect subsequent wear of the memory device in accordance with the estimated wear. The life cycle management may include operations such as wear leveling, predicting an end of service life of the memory device, and removing worn blocks of the memory device from service.
