    摘要: Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses and methods for faster solid state drive (SSD) boot-up. On boot-up, SSD control algorithms may load non-logical to physical (L2P) parts of a context and signal the system that the SSD is ready. The context may comprise various state data pertaining to the SSD. After signaling that the SSD may be ready to receive access requests, the SSD control algorithms may begin loading segments of the L2P table sequentially. Access to the L2P table may be blocked, however, when a requested segment has not yet been loaded. In such cases, the SSD control algorithms may then load the requested segment out of turn and then service the access request.

    摘要: A method and system to facilitate paging of one or more segments of a logical-to-physical (LTP) address mapping structure to a non-volatile memory. The LTP address mapping structure is part of an indirection system map associated with the non-volatile memory in one embodiment of the invention. By allowing one or more segments of the LTP address mapping structure to be paged to the non-volatile memory, the amount of volatile memory required to store the LTP address mapping structure is reduced while maintaining the benefits of the LTP address mapping structure in one embodiment of the invention.

    摘要: Apparatus, systems, and methods to manage memory operations are described. In one embodiment, an electronic device comprises a processor and a memory control logic to retrieve a global sequence number from a memory device, receive a read request for data stored in a logical block address in the memory device, retrieve a media sequence number from the logical block address in the memory device, and return a null response in lieu of the data stored in the logical block address when the media sequence number is older than the global sequence number. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a memory interface may send an indication that a request is being sent. The indication may be sent to a non-volatile memory via a point-to-point bus between a memory interface and the non-volatile memory. The memory interface may send the request to the non-volatile memory via the bus. The request may include an address that may be used to identify a location for storing or reading data. The non-volatile memory may acquire the request from the bus and process the request. After processing the request, the non-volatile memory may send an indication to the memory interface that indicates the non-volatile memory has a response to send to the memory interface. The memory interface may grant access to the bus to the non-volatile memory. After being granted access to the bus, the non-volatile memory may send the response to the memory interface.

    摘要: An apparatus, as well as systems, methods, and articles can operate to record the address of write operations to a memory cached by a non-volatile cache prior to executing an operating system cache driver. In an embodiment, a non-volatile cache may be implemented by creating a device option read only memory (ROM), or modifying the associated computer basic input-output system (BIOS) to trap software interrupts associated with disk and other media access requests. Associated addresses, such as logical block addresses, can be stored in a log for data that is modified. The resulting log can be stored in a non-volatile medium, including the cache itself. If the available log space is not large enough to record all write activity prior to loading operating system drivers, a flag may be set to indicate the overrun condition.
