Abstract:
An apparatus includes a register memory and circuitry. The register memory is configured to hold a minimal value specified for a performance measure of a given type of memory access commands, whose actual performance measures vary among memory devices. The circuitry is configured to receive a memory access command of the given type, to execute the received memory access command in one or more memory devices, and to acknowledge the memory access command not before reaching the minimal value stored in the register memory.
Abstract:
A method for data storage includes, in a memory that includes multiple memory blocks, assessing a performance characteristic of the multiple memory blocks. At least some of the memory blocks are grouped into groups using a grouping criterion that groups together the memory blocks based on similarity in the assessed performance characteristic. Data is stored in the memory by applying parallel memory access operations in the groups of the memory blocks.
