    Abstract: A storage system has zones in solid-state storage memory, with power loss protection. The system identifies portions of data for processes that utilize power loss protection. The system determines to activate or deactivate power loss protection for the portions of data for the processes. The system tracks activation and deactivation of power loss protection in zones in the solid-state storage memory, in accordance with the portions of data having power loss protection activated or deactivated.

    Abstract: A hybrid volatile/non-volatile memory module employs a relatively fast, durable, and expensive dynamic, random-access memory (DRAM) cache to store a subset of data from a larger amount of relatively slow and inexpensive nonvolatile memory (NVM). A module controller prioritizes accesses to the DRAM cache for improved speed performance and to minimize programming cycles to the NVM. Data is first written to the DRAM cache where it can be accessed (written to and read from) without the aid of the NVM. Data is only written to the NVM when that data is evicted from the DRAM cache to make room for additional data. Mapping tables relating NVM addresses to physical addresses are distributed throughout the DRAM cache using cache line bits that are not used for data.
