  • Methods and systems to allocate addresses in a high-endurance/low-endurance hybrid flash memory
    Patent number: 8209466
    Abstract: Methods and systems to selectively map higher-usage addresses to higher-endurance memory cells of a flash memory, and lower-usage addresses to lower-endurance memory cells of the flash memory. Address usage may be determined with respect to the most recent write operation corresponding to an address and/or with respect to a frequency of write operations corresponding to the address. Higher-endurance memory cells may include single level cells (SLCs). Lower-endurance memory cells may include multi-level cells (MLCs). Improved endurance may be obtained with a relatively small percentage of higher-endurance memory cells, at a relatively low cost.

  • Techniques for transmitting and receiving traffic over advanced switching compatible switch fabrics
    Patent number: 7583664
    Abstract: Techniques for transmitting SONET/SDH traffic over an Advanced Switching compatible switch fabric. In one implementation, SONET/SDH traffic may be aggregated and encapsulated into Advanced Switching compatible packets. In one implementation, the contents of the Advanced Switching compatible packets may be configurable and directions on how to unpack the Advanced Switching compatible packets may be transmitted to end point nodes. In one implementation, SONET/SDH pointer justification generation may be divided between a source node which transmits SONET/SDH traffic to the switch fabric and an end point node which receives SONET/SDH traffic from the switch fabric.
