Patent number: 11977778Abstract: A method performed by a processing device receives a plurality of write operation requests, where each of the write operation requests specifies a respective one of the memory units, identifies one or more operating characteristic values, where each operating characteristic value reflects one or more memory access operations performed on a memory device, and determines whether the operating characteristic values satisfy one or more threshold criteria. Responsive to determining that the operating characteristic values satisfy the one or more threshold criteria, the method performs a plurality of write operations, where each of the write operations writes data to the respective one of the memory units, and performs a multiple-read scan operation subsequent to the plurality of write operations, where the multiple-read scan operation reads data from each of the memory units.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2022Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Eric N. Lee, Jeffrey S. McNeil, Jonathan S. Parry, Lakshmi Kalpana Vakati

Publication number: 20240069765Abstract: A system can include a processing device operatively coupled with the one or more memory devices, to perform operations that include writing data to the one or more memory devices and performing one or more scan operations on a management unit containing the data to determine a current value of a chosen data state metric. Each scan operation can be performed using a corresponding predetermined read-time parameter value. The operations can include determining whether the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies a criterion, and can also include, responsive to determining that the current value of the chosen data state metric satisfies the criterion, selecting a remedial operation by determining whether redundancy metadata is included in a fault tolerant data stripe on the one or more memory devices. The operations can also include performing the remedial operation with respect to the management unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kishore Kumar Muchherla, Robert Loren O.

Publication number: 20230376293Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates deploying an application. Some techniques described herein occur during compile time while executable code is being generated from source code. In one example, the executable code causes different operations in an application to be assigned to different compute systems such that particular operations are required to be executed on particular compute systems. The executable code may further include bridges that assist data being transmitted between different compute systems, the bridges generated during compile time. In another example, the executable code causes data to be sent to a recording service during execution of an application. The recording service, though not included in the source code before compile time, is configured to receive copies of data transmitted on a compute system including the recording service. The recording service may also be configured to receive metadata corresponding to operations executed on the compute system.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Inventors: Ashok AYYAMANI, Mohammad J. ABDELHADI, Ryan J. ALLEN, James D. BATSON, Christopher Y. BROWN, Etienne BELANGER, Karl C. HSU, Jeffrey D. KOFTINOFF, Eric S. LEE, Nur O. MONSON, George E. WILLIAMS

Patent number: 10541885Abstract: Systems and methods for negotiating control of a shared audio or visual resource are disclosed. A request for control of a shared audio or visual resource is received at an arbiter. The arbiter maintains existing state information for ownership of the shared audio or visual resource and ownership transition conditions of the shared audio or visual resource. The request is received from one of a process executing on an embedded system and a process executing on a mobile computing device. New state information regarding ownership of the shared audio or visual resource is determined based at least in part on the request for control and the ownership transition conditions.
