  • Patent number: 11941300
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for integrating a pivot table in a logical-to-physical mapping of a memory system are described. The memory system may receive a read command and read a first entry of a first subset of mapping and a second entry of a second subset of mapping. The second entry may include at least a portion of a pivot table associated with physical addresses of a non-volatile memory device. The memory system may retrieve data from a physical address identified in the pivot table, rather than access a different portion of the logical-to-physical mapping. The memory system may transmit, to a host system, the data retrieved from the physical address identified in the pivot table.

  • Patent number: 11922053
    Abstract: Devices and techniques for NAND logical-to-physical table region tracking are described herein. A write request, including a logical page and data to be written at the logical page, is received at a controller of a NAND device. The NAND controller may then establish an entry in a logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping table between the logical page and a physical page of a physical block of the NAND device to which the data is written. Here, the entry may be in a region of the L2P mapping table that is one of multiple regions. An indication of the region may be written in a data structure corresponding to the physical block.

  • Patent number: 11907556
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for data relocation operation techniques are described. A memory system may include blocks of memory cells, for example, within a non-volatile memory device of the memory system. The memory system may identify a command to perform a data relocation operation associated with a block of memory cells and may select between a first procedure and a second procedure for performing the data relocation operation. The memory system may select between the first procedure and the second procedure based on whether one or more parameters associated with the data relocation operation satisfy a threshold. For example, the memory system may select the first procedure if the one or more parameters satisfy the threshold and may select the second procedure if the one or more parameters do not satisfy the threshold. The memory system may perform the data relocation operation using the selected procedure.

  • Patent number: 11720489
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include apparatus and/or methods of operating the apparatus in which storage in the memory device is managed. An allocation can include conducting a garbage collection procedure to free up one or more blocks. In various embodiments, execution of a garbage collection procedure can be based on operation of two tables with respect to a logical to physical mapping table split into logical to physical mapping table regions saved in the memory device. The first table can maintain counts of valid pages in blocks for a logical to physical mapping table region. The second table can include bits to identify logical to physical mapping table regions involved in the garbage collection procedure based on the entries in the first table. Search of the second table can determine logical to physical mapping table regions involved in the garbage collection. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11675709
    Abstract: In one approach, a computer storage device has one or more pivot tables and corresponding bit maps stored in volatile memory. The storage device has non-volatile storage media that stores data for a host device. The pivot tables and bit maps are used to determine physical addresses of the non-volatile storage media for logical addresses received in commands from the host device that are determined to be within a sequential address range (e.g., LBAs that are part of a prior sequential write operation by the host device). When a command is received by the storage device that includes a logical address within the sequential address range, then one of the pivot tables and its corresponding bit map are used to determine the physical address of the non-volatile storage media that corresponds to the logical address.

  • Patent number: 11650931
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include systems and methods that utilize a hybrid logical to physical (L2P) caching scheme. A L2P cache and a L2P changelog in a storage device can be controlled for use in write and read operations of a memory system. A page pointer table in the L2P cache can be accessed, for performance of a write operation in the memory system, to obtain a specific physical address mapped to a specified logical block address from a host, where the access is based on the page pointer table loaded into the L2P cache from the L2P changelog. The L2P cache area can be progressively configured with the most frequently accessed page pointer tables in the L2P changelog in the latest host accesses.
