Patent number: 11861193Abstract: A system and method for updating a configuration of a host system so that the memory sub-system of the host system emulates performance characteristics of a target memory sub-system. An example system includes a memory sub-system; and a processor, operatively coupled with the memory sub-system, to perform operations comprising receiving a request to emulate a characteristic of a target memory sub-system, identifying a candidate configuration that generates a load on a memory sub-system of a host system to decrease a characteristics of the memory sub-system of the host system, and updating a configuration of the host system based at least on the candidate configuration, wherein the updated configuration changes the memory sub-system of the host system to emulate the characteristic of the target memory sub-system.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2023Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: Jacob Mulamootil Jacob, John M.

Publication number: 20220374148Abstract: Systems and techniques for reducing probabilistic filter query latency are described herein. A query for a probabilistic filter that is stored on a first media may be received from a caller. In response to receiving the query, cached segments of the probabilistic filter stored on a second media may be obtained. Here, the probabilistic filter provides a set membership determination that is conclusive in a determination that an element is not in a set. The query may be executed on the cached segments resulting in a partial query result. Retrieval of remaining data of the probabilistic filter from the first media to the second media may be initiated without intervention from the caller. Here, the remaining data corresponds to the query and data that is not in the cached segment. The partial query results may then be returned to the caller.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 8, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: David Boles, John M. Groves, Steven Moyer, Alexander Tomlinson

Patent number: 11238098Abstract: A KVS tree database and operations thereon are described herein. A KVS tree database is a multilevel tree that includes a base level and subsequent levels. The base level includes a heterogeneous kvset in a node, The heterogeneous kvset including entries for multiple KVS trees, such as a first entry for a first KVS tree and a second entry for a second KVS tree, The subsequent level includes a first node including a first homogeneous kvset for the first KVS tree and a second node including a second homogeneous kvset for the second KVS tree. Here, a homogeneous kvset includes nodes from only one KVS tree. The KVS tree database also includes a first determinative mapping of entries between the base level and the subsequent level and a second determinative mapping of entries between subsequent levels.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2020Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventors: David Boles, John M.

Patent number: 11080231Abstract: Various embodiments described herein provide for creation of a file that is backed by a requester-specified set of data storage objects. According to some embodiments, a request is received to create a new file on a file system that is backed by a specified set of data storage objects stored on a set of memory components. For example, the specified set of data storage objects can be associated with storage of one or more portions of an existing file stored on the set of memory components. In response to receiving the request to create the new file, a file data structure can be generated on the file system that represents the new file, where the file data structure comprises a mapping to the specified set of data storage objects. Subsequently, the request can be responded to with data that confirms creation of the new file on the file system.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2018Date of Patent: August 3, 2021Assignee: Micron Technology, Inc.Inventor: John M. Groves

Publication number: 20200349139Abstract: Systems and techniques for stream selection from multi-stream storage devices. Notification of a KVS tree write request for a multi-stream storage device is received. The notification includes a KVS tree scope corresponding to data in the write request. A stream identifier (ID) is assigned to the write request based on the KVS tree scope and a stability value of the write request. The stream ID is returned to govern stream assignment to the write request, the stream assignment modifying a write operation of the multi-stream storage device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Inventors: David Boles, John M.
