    摘要: An embodiment is a method for establishing a correspondence between a first logical address and a first physical address on solid-state storage devices located on a solid-state storage board. The solid-state storage devices include a plurality of physical memory locations identified by physical addresses, and the establishing is by a software module located on a main board that is separate from the solid-state storage board. The correspondence between the first logical address and the first physical address is stored in in a location on a solid-state memory device that is accessible by an address translator module located on the solid-state storage board. The solid-state memory device is located on the solid-state storage board. The first logical address is translated to the first physical address by the address translator module based on the previously established correspondence between the first logical address and the first physical address.

    摘要: A memory system that includes a plurality of memory arrays having memory cells characterized by a variable write time. The memory system also includes a memory bus configured to receive write commands, and a plurality of data buffers configured to communicate with the memory arrays. The memory system further includes an address buffer configured to communicate with the memory arrays to store the write addresses. A mechanism configured to receive a write command and to split a data line received with the write command into a number of parts is also included in the memory system. The parts of the data line are stored in different data buffers and the writing of the parts of the data line to memory arrays at the write address is initiated. The write command is completed when write completion signals specifying the write address have been received from all of the memory arrays.

    摘要: A method for operating a phase change memory that includes initializing a memory cell that includes: a first conductive electrode having a length greater than its width and an axis aligned with the length; a second conductive electrode having an edge oriented at an angle to the axis of the first conductive electrode; an insulator providing a separation distance between an end of the first conductive electrode and the edge of the second conductive electrode; and a phase change material covering a substantial portion of the first conductive electrode and at least a portion of the second conductive electrode. The initializing the memory cell includes creating a first amorphous material region in the phase change material. An active crystalline material region is created inside the first amorphous material region. Information is stored in the memory cell by creating a second amorphous material region inside the active crystalline material region.

    摘要: Memory cell presetting for improved performance including a method for using a computer system to identify a region in a memory. The region includes a plurality of memory cells characterized by a write performance characteristic that has a first expected value when a write operation changes a current state of the memory cells to a desired state of the memory cells and a second expected value when the write operation changes a specified state of the memory cells to the desired state of the memory cells. The second expected value is closer than the first expected value to a desired value of the write performance characteristic. The plurality of memory cells in the region are set to the specified state, and the data is written into the plurality of memory cells responsive to the setting.

    摘要: Providing increased capacity in heterogeneous storage elements including a method for reading from memory. The method includes receiving a read word from a block of memory cells, where physical characteristics of the memory cells support different sets of data levels. The read word is separated into two or more virtual read vectors. For each of the virtual read vectors, the codebook that was utilized to generate the virtual read vector is identified and a partial read data vector is generated. The generating includes multiplying the virtual read vector by a matrix that represents the codebook. The partial read data vectors are combined into a read message and the read message is output.
