摘要： A semiconductor memory device including a random access memory cell array, a series/parallel data transfer circuit, transfer gate, an active pull-up circuit, and an active pull-down circuit. The transfer gate is inserted between bit lines of the random access memory cell array and the series/parallel data transfer circuit to carry out parallel transfer of data. Output data of the series/parallel data transfer circuit is simultaneously written in a group of memory cells of selected work lines by turning on the transfer gate and selection of a word line. When data of each output of steps of the series/parallel data transfer circuit is logic "1", the active pull-up circuit charges up a selected bit line of the random access memory cell array. When data of each output of steps of the series/parallel data transfer circuit is logic "0", the active pull-down circuit discharges a selected bit line of the random access memory cell array. One or more of the active pull-up and active pull-down circuits is arranged in the semiconductor memory device.

摘要： A nonvolatile semiconductor storage system has multiple nonvolatile semiconductor storage media, a control circuit having a media interface group (one or more interface devices) coupled to the multiple nonvolatile semiconductor storage media, and multiple switches. The media interface group and the multiple switches are coupled via data buses, and each switch and each of two or more nonvolatile chips are coupled via a data bus. The switch is configured so as to switch a coupling between a data bus coupled to the media interface group and a data bus coupled to any of multiple nonvolatile chips that are coupled to this switch. The control circuit partitions write-target data into multiple data elements, switches a coupling by controlling the multiple switches, and distributively sends the multiple data elements to multiple nonvolatile chips.

摘要： Logical-physical translation information comprises information denoting the corresponding relationships between multiple logical pages and multiple logical chunks forming a logical address space of a nonvolatile semiconductor storage medium, and information denoting the corresponding relationships between the multiple logical chunks and multiple physical storage areas. Each logical page is a logical storage area conforming to a logical address range. Each logical chunk is allocated to two or more logical pages of multiple logical pages. Two or more physical storage areas of multiple physical storage areas are allocated to each logical chunk. A controller adjusts the number of physical storage areas to be allocated to each logical chunk.

摘要： A storage system has a first type resource and a second type resource, which are different types of resources having a relationship in which, when the load on one type of resource becomes higher, the load on the other type of resource becomes lower, and this storage system comprises a process controller. The process controller executes processing such that the load of the other type of resource becomes higher when the load on the one type of resource, of the first type resource and the second type resource, is high and the load on the other type of resource is not so high.
