Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus related to a memory system that manages an interface for a volatile memory device and a non-volatile memory device to control memory system power. In one approach, a controller evaluates a demand on memory performance. If the demand of a current computation task needed by the host is high, a DRAM device is powered-up to meet the demand. Otherwise, if the non-volatile memory device is adequate to meet the demand, the DRAM memory is partially or fully-powered down to save power. In another approach, a task performed for a host device uses one or more resources of a first memory device (e.g., DRAM). A performance capability of a second memory device (e.g., NVRAM) is determined. A controller of the memory system determines whether the performance capability of the second memory device is adequate to service the task.

Abstract: A request is received to perform a multi-plane operation for data residing on a first plane and a second plane of a memory device. A first set of trim values is obtained from a first set of registers of the memory device. The first set of trim values corresponds to a first voltage shift for the data at the first plane. A second set of trim values is obtained from a second set of registers of the memory device. The second set of trim values corresponds to a second voltage shift for the data at the second set of trim values for the data at the second plane.

Abstract: A graphics processing unit (GPU) includes a table located in a memory of the GPU and a cache hierarchy. The table contains an address of inactive data in a cache hierarchy of the GPU in which the inactive data is associated with an intermediate render target. The cache hierarchy is responsive to an eviction event by discarding the inactive data from the cache hierarchy without performing a writeback to a system memory associated with the GPU based on the address of the inactive data being contained in the table. The cache hierarchy may obtain the address of the inactive data from the table, and the inactive data may be located in a last-level cache of the cache hierarchy. In one embodiment, the address of inactive data in a cache hierarchy of the GPU includes a range of addresses for the inactive data.

Abstract: A data storage device includes a memory device and a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller and the memory device communicate using a plurality of flash channels, where each channel is mapped to one or more dies of the memory device. Each of the one or more dies of the memory device are associated with one or more strobes of a strobe cycle of a respective flash channel, where a die is provided power during a respective strobe. The controller is configured to, using a time division peak power management (TD-PPM) operation, change an association of a strobe from a first channel to a strobe of a second channel, which may adjust an amount of power provided to each of the channels and improve performance and latency of the data storage device.

In some cases, the first circuit may compare the one or more commands to the one or more patterns of commands stored at the memory device. A second circuit of the memory device may erase one or more memory cells of the memory device based on determining that the one or more thresholds associated with operation of the memory device would be violated, based on comparing the set of commands to the one or more patterns, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for read operations for regions of a memory device are described. In some examples, a memory device may include a first cache for storing mappings between logical addresses and physical addresses of the memory device, and a second cache for storing indices associated with entries removed from the first cache. The memory device may include a controller configured to load mappings to the first cache upon receiving read commands. When the first cache is full, and when the memory device receives a read command, the controller may remove an entry from the first cache and may store an index associated with the removed entry to the second cache. The controller may then transmit a mapping associated with the index to a host device for use in a HPB operation.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a system including a first management system having a primary memory including a free memory, a used memory, and a loosely reserved memory, where the loosely reserved memory comprises cache memory having a reclaimable memory; and a processing resource coupled to the primary memory. The processing resource may monitor an amount of the used memory and an amount of an available memory during runtime of the first management system. Further, the processing resource may enable a synchronized reboot of the first management system if the amount of the used memory is greater than a memory exhaustion first threshold or the amount of the available memory is less than a memory exhaustion second threshold, wherein the memory exhaustion first threshold and the memory exhaustion second threshold are determined based on usage of the reclaimable memory and a number of major page faults.

Abstract: Multi-cache-based digital output generation is provided. A system receives data objects that include fields from a remote data source. The system sorts the data objects based on a field to generate a sorted data set. The system cleans the sorted data set to generate a clean data set based on a policy. The system receives a request for a type of digital output based on the data objects received from the data source and loads a portion of the clean data set to a first level cache. The system selects a machine learning model configured for the type of digital output, and loads a primary cache with a subset of fields stored in the first level cache selected based on the machine learning model. The system generates, based on the first level cache being complete, digital output corresponding to the type of digital output from data in the primary cache.
