  • Patent number: 11966635
    Abstract: A memory device may include logical units configured to store data, wherein the logical units are identified by corresponding logical unit numbers (LUNs) and are associated with corresponding LUN queue groups. Each LUN queue group may include LUN queues that are each associated with a respective intra-LUN priority level that indicates a priority of a LUN queue within a LUN queue group. The LUN queues are each associated with a respective execution priority level that indicates a priority for execution of commands in a LUN queue across LUN queue groups. A quantity of intra-LUN priority levels may be greater than a quantity of execution priority levels. A LUN scheduler may be configured to select and transfer commands from LUN queue groups to the execution queue group based on intra-LUN priority levels. A command executor may be configured to execute commands from the execution queue group based on execution priority levels.

  • Patent number: 11960740
    Abstract: A processing device in a memory system identifies a workload condition associated with a memory device. The processing device determines a host rate associated with the memory device based on the workload condition. The processing device detects a change in a condition of the memory device from a first state condition to a second state condition. The processing device determines, while the memory device is in the second state condition, an adjusted host rate, wherein the adjusted host rate is used to determine a credit consuming rate for a host operation.

  • Publication number: 20240069997
    Abstract: In some implementations, a memory device may cache a subset of one or more block family error avoidance (BFEA) lookup tables associated with a block family associated with host data in a first memory location. The block family may be based on at least one of a time window during which the host data was written or a temperature window at which the host data was written. The memory device may receive a read command associated with host data and determine, based on the block family and the subset of the one or more BFEA tables, a threshold voltage offset associated with the host data. The memory device may compute a modified threshold voltage by applying the threshold voltage offset to a base read level voltage associated with the host data. The memory device may read, using the modified threshold voltage, the host data from the first memory location.

  • Publication number: 20240071520
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to suspending memory erase operations to perform high priority memory commands. In some implementations, a memory device may detect, while an active stage of an erase operation is being performed by the memory device, a pending memory command with a higher priority than the erase operation. The memory device may selectively suspend the active stage of the erase operation, to allow the pending memory command to be executed, based on the active stage of the erase operation that is being performed and/or a value of a suspend determination timer associated with suspending the active stage of the erase operation.

  • Publication number: 20240036768
    Abstract: A memory sub-system configured to partially execute write commands from a host system to optimize performance. After receiving a write command from a host system, the memory sub-system can identify, based on a media physical layout, a preferred input/output size for the execution of the write command. The memory sub-system can execute the write command according to the preferred input/output size, configure a response for the write command to identify the second input/output size, and transmit the response identifying the second input/output size to the host system. The host system is configured to generate a subsequent write command to write at least the data that is initially identified in the write command that has been executed but not been included in the execution of the write command performed according to the preferred input/output size.

  • Patent number: 11709632
    Abstract: A memory sub-system configured to dynamically determine input/output sizes of write commands based on a media physical layout of a memory sub-system. The memory sub-system can identify, dynamically in response to write commands being selected for execution in media units of the memory sub-system, a portion of a media layout that maps from logical addresses identified by the write commands in the logical address space to physical addresses of memory units in the media units. Based on the media layout, an input/output size for a next write command is identified and transmitted to the host system in a response. The host system generates the next write command and configures the amount of data to be written through the next write command based on based on the input/output size identified in the response.

  • Patent number: 11669272
    Abstract: A memory sub-system configured to predictively schedule the transfer of data to reduce idle time and the amount and time of data being buffered in the memory sub-system. For example, write commands received from a host system can be queued without buffering the data of the write commands at the same time. When executing a first write command using a media unit, the memory sub-system can predict a duration to a time the media unit becoming available for execution of a second write command. The communication of the data of the second command from the host system to a local buffer memory of the memory sub-system can be postponed and initiated according to the predicted duration. After the execution of the first write command, the second write command can be executed by the media unit without idling to store the data from the local buffer memory.
