    Abstract: According to one general aspect, a memory management unit (MMU) may be configured to interface with a heterogeneous memory system that comprises a plurality of types of storage mediums. Each type of storage medium may be based upon a respective memory technology and may be associated with performance characteristic(s). The MMU may receive a data access for the heterogeneous memory system. The MMU may also determine at least one of the storage mediums of the heterogeneous memory system to service the data access. The target storage medium may be selected based upon at least one performance characteristic associated with the target storage medium and a quality of service tag that is associated with the virtual machine and that indicates one or more performance characteristics. The MMU may route the data access by the virtual machine to the at least one of the storage mediums.

    Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a memory, an erasure-based, non-volatile memory, and a processor. The memory may be configured to store a mapping table, wherein the mapping table indicates a rewriteable state of a plurality of memory addresses. The erasure-based, non-volatile memory may be configured to store information, at respective memory addresses, in an encoded format. The encoded format may include more bits than the unencoded version of the information and the encoded format may allow the information be over-written, at least once, without an intervening erase operation. The processor may be configured to perform garbage collection based, at least in part upon, the rewriteable state associated with the respective memory addresses.

    Abstract: According to one general aspect, an apparatus may include a host interface, a memory, a processor, and an erasure-based, non-volatile memory. The host interface may receive a write command, wherein the write command includes unencoded data. The memory may store a mapping table, wherein the mapping table indicates a rewriteable state of a plurality of memory addresses. The processor may select a memory address to store information included by the unencoded data based, at least in part, upon the rewriteable state of the memory address. The erasure-based, non-volatile memory may store, at the memory address, the unencoded data's information as encoded data, wherein the encoded data includes more bits than the unencoded data and wherein the encoded data can be over-written with a second unencoded data without an intervening erase operation.
