  • Patent number: 11543980
    Abstract: A processing device receives a first instruction specifying that first data is to remain on a first memory device of a plurality of memory devices, the first memory device comprising a first media having a first media type. The processing device further receives a second instruction specifying, based on one or more criteria, that second data is to be moved from the first media having the first media type to a second memory device of the plurality of memory devices, the second memory device comprising a second media having a second media type that is different than the first media type. The processing device further controls the first and second data in the plurality of memory devices based on the first instruction and the second instruction.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10929033
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an indication of an operational mode for a memory system including a set of memory devices. A first memory device of the set of memory devices includes a first media having a first media type and a second memory device of the et of memory devices includes a second media having a second media type that is different than the first media type. The method also includes allocating, by a processing device, a first portion and a second portion of the first memory device based on the operational mode for the memory system. The method also includes storing data at the first portion of the first memory device, the second portion of the first memory device, or the second memory device based on the operational mode for the memory system.

  • Patent number: 6594621
    Abstract: The system and method can determine the condition of a plant, its equipment and facilities, at inspection sites identified by identification codes. A portable processing device with an inspection transducer can sense and store at least one measured characteristic of the plant equipment. This device can also read at least one of the identification codes of the plant equipment. A central processing system can communicate with and upload from the portable processing device at least measured characteristics and identification codes. The central processing system can, in response to at least one measured characteristic and at least one of the identification codes, produce a condition signal signifying the condition of some aspect of the plant.
