Abstract:
Power saving techniques for memory systems are disclosed. In particular, exemplary aspects of the present disclosure contemplate taking advantage of patterns that may exist within memory elements and eliminating duplicative data transfers. Specifically, if data is repetitive, instead of sending the same data repeatedly, the data may be sent only a single time with instructions that cause the data to be replicated at a receiving end to restore the data to its original repeated state. By reducing the amount of data that is transferred between a host and a memory element, power consumption is reduced.
Abstract:
In one aspect, a method includes splitting empty RAID stripes into sub-stripes and storing pages into the sub-stripes based on a compressibility score. In another aspect, a method includes reading pages from 1-stripes, storing compressed data in a temporary location, reading multiple stripes, determining compressibility score for each stripe and filling stripes based on the compressibility score. In a further aspect, a method includes scanning a dirty queue in a system cache, compressing pages ready for destaging, combining compressed pages in to one aggregated page, writing one aggregated page to one stripe and storing pages with same compressibility score in a stripe.

A computational unit is disclosed to increment or decrement n-bits of data. The unit has n/3 logic blocks to process the n-bits of data, each logic block including: first and second multiplexers to propagate a carry chain; and first, second and third exclusive—OR (XOR) circuits coupled to the carry chain of the multiplexers to generate a 3-bit incremented output.
Abstract:
A fusion memory device and method that is capable of storing binary data in a compressed format and reading out the compressed binary data in a decompressed format is provided. The fusion memory device includes a main memory for storing data in a compressed format; a secondary memory for buffering binary data to be written within and read from the main memory; and a memory controller having a pair of compressor and decompressor.

Abstract:
Compression and decompression of data at high speed in solid state storage is described, including accessing a compressed data comprising a plurality of blocks of the compressed data, decompressing each of the plurality of blocks in a first stage of decompression to produce a plurality of partially decompressed blocks, and reconstructing an original data from the partially decompressed blocks in a second stage of decompression.
Abstract:
To determine whether or not to data is compressed at a timing when a non-volatile memory device receives the data from a host apparatus. A storage controller transmits a specified logical address range, an update frequency level of the specified logical address range, and specified data to a device controller. On the basis of the update frequency level of the specified logical address range, the device controller determines whether the specified data is compressed or not. When determination is made that the specified data is compressed, the device controller compresses the specified data to generate compressed data, and writes the compressed data into a non-volatile memory. When determination is made that the specified data is not compressed, the device controller writes the specified data into the non-volatile memory.
Abstract:
A data writing method for a rewritable non-volatile memory module is provided. The method includes: compressing data to generate first data; determining whether a data length of the first data meets a predetermined condition. The method also includes: if the data length of the first data meets the predetermined condition, writing the first data into a first physical erasing unit among a plurality of physical erasing units; if the data length of the first data does not meet the predetermined condition, generating dummy data according to a predetermined rule, padding the first data with the dummy data to generate second data and writing the second data into the first physical erasing unit. A data length of the second data meets the predetermined condition.
