Patent number: 12001339Abstract: According to one embodiment, a dictionary buffer stores dictionary data including a first substring and data before the first substring. A substring generator generates, from second input data, second substrings. A transformer transforms each of the second substrings into a hash value. A read processor reads the dictionary data, using a hash value transformed from a third substring among the second substrings. An acquisition unit compares a data string including the third substring and data before the third substring with the read dictionary data, and acquire first and second match lengths of the third and fourth substrings. A coded data generator generates coded data based on the acquired first and second match lengths.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2022Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Kioxia CorporationInventors: Daisuke Yashima, Sho Kodama, Keiri Nakanishi, Masato Sumiyoshi, Youhei Fukazawa, Zheye Wang, Kohei Oikawa, Takashi Miura

Publication number: 20240094940Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory and a controller. The controller is configured to perform a write operation of a first data cluster and a first partial overwrite operation of the first data cluster with first overwrite data. The write operation includes compressing and then encrypting the first data cluster, and writing the compressed and encrypted first data cluster into a first physical location of the non-volatile memory. The first partial overwrite operation includes encrypting the first overwrite data without performing compression, reading the compressed and encrypted first data cluster from the first physical location of the non-volatile memory, generating a first composite data cluster with the compressed and encrypted first data cluster read from the first physical location and the encrypted first overwrite data that is not compressed, and writing the first composite data cluster into a second physical location of the non-volatile memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Kensaku YAMAGUCHI, Kiyotaka IWASAKI, Takashi TAKEMOTO, Kohei OIKAWA
