Abstract:
A Solid State Drive (SSD) (110) is disclosed. The SSD (110) may include storage (218) for data, and reception circuitry (203) to receive various instructions and data. The reception circuitry (203) may receive an instruction (257) from a host machine (105) to perform garbage collection, along with a selected P/E strategy (260). The SSD (110) may include garbage collection logic (209) to perform garbage collection, possibly with a delayed Program operation if an adaptive P/E strategy (1110) is selected. The SSD (110) may also include a mapping table (221) that may identify which pages were not Programmed before victim blocks (233, 236) were erased, and therefore require replication during a delayed Program operation.
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:
A computing system includes: an identification block configured to determine a structural profile for representing a parallel structure of architectural components; and an arrangement block, coupled to the identification block, configured to generate memory sets based on the structural profile for representing the parallel structure.

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.
Abstract:
Inventive aspects include a high bandwidth peer-to-peer switched key-value system, method, and section. The system can include a high bandwidth switch, multiple network interface cards communicatively coupled to the switch, one or more key-value caches to store a plurality of key-values, and one or more memory controllers communicatively coupled to the key-value caches and to the network interface cards. The memory controllers can include a key-value peer-to-peer logic section that can coordinate peer-to-peer communication between the memory controllers and the multiple network interface cards through the switch. The system can further include multiple transmission control protocol (TCP) offload engines that are each communicatively coupled to a corresponding one of the network interface cards. Each of the TCP offload engines can include a packet peer-to-peer logic section that can coordinate the peer-to-peer communication between the memory controllers and the network interface cards through the switch.
