Provided are a computer program product, system, and method for considering a density of tracks to destage in groups of tracks to select groups of tracks to destage. Groups of tracks in the cache are scanned to determine whether they are ready to destage. A determination is made as to whether the tracks in one of the groups are ready to destage in response to scanning the tracks in the group. A density for the group is increased in response to determining that the group is not ready to destage. The group is destaged in response to determining that the density of the group exceeds a density threshold.

An apparatus is described that includes memory controller logic circuitry to interface with a memory side cache of a multi-level system memory. The memory controller logic circuitry includes error tracking circuitry to track errors of cache line slots in the memory side cache. The memory controller logic circuitry also comprises faulty list circuitry to store identifiers of faulty cache line slots that are deemed to be excessively error prone. The memory controller logic circuitry is to declare a miss in the memory side cache for requests that map to cache line slots identified in the faulty list.

Embodiments are generally directed to accelerated address indirection table lookup for wear-leveled non-volatile memory. A embodiment of a memory device includes nonvolatile memory; a memory controller; and address indirection logic to provide address indirection for the nonvolatile memory, of the address indirection logic to maintain an address indirection table (AIT) in the nonvolatile memory, the AIT including a plurality of levels, and copy at least a portion of the AIT to a second memory, the second memory having less latency than the first memory.

The disclosure is related to systems and methods of managing data storage in a memory device. In a particular embodiment, a method is disclosed that includes receiving, in a data storage device, at least one data packet that has a size that is different from an allocated storage capacity of at least one physical destination location on a data storage medium in the data storage device for the at least one data packet. The method also includes storing the at least one received data packet in a non-volatile cache memory prior to transferring the at least one received data packet to the at least one physical destination location.

A memory system includes a volatile first storing unit, a nonvolatile second storing unit in which data is managed in a predetermined unit, and a controller that writes data requested by a host apparatus in the second storing unit via the first storing unit and reads out data requested by the host apparatus from the second storing unit to the first storing unit and transfers the data to the host apparatus. The controller includes a management table for managing the number of failure areas in a predetermined unit that occur in the second storing unit and switches, according to the number of failure areas, an operation mode in writing data in the second storing unit from the host apparatus.

A general matrix-matrix multiplication (GEMM) dataflow accelerator circuit is disclosed that includes a smart 3D stacking DRAM architecture. The accelerator circuit includes a memory bank, a peripheral lookup table stored in the memory bank, and a first vector buffer to store a first vector that is used as a row address into the lookup table. The circuit includes a second vector buffer to store a second vector that is used as a column address into the lookup table, and lookup table buffers to receive and store lookup table entries from the lookup table. The circuit further includes adders to sum the first product and a second product, and an output buffer to store the sum. The lookup table buffers determine a product of the first vector and the second vector without performing a multiply operation. The embodiments include a hierarchical lookup architecture to reduce latency. Accumulation results are propagated in a systolic manner.

A data access system including a processor and a storage system including a main memory and a cache module. The cache module includes a FLC controller and a cache. The cache is configured as a FLC to be accessed prior to accessing the main memory. The processor is coupled to levels of cache separate from the FLC. The processor generates, in response to data required by the processor not being in the levels of cache, a physical address corresponding to a physical location in the storage system. The FLC controller generates a virtual address based on the physical address. The virtual address corresponds to a physical location within the FLC or the main memory. The cache module causes, in response to the virtual address not corresponding to the physical location within the FLC, the data required by the processor to be retrieved from the main memory.
