Abstract: A method includes generating a new entigen group regarding trusted new information. The method further includes generating entigen groups from phrases of a document and determining whether an entigen group of the entigen groups has a most likely meaning similar to a most likely meaning of the new entigen group. When the entigen group has a most likely meaning similar to the most likely meaning of the new entigen group, the method further includes updating the entigen group based on the new entigen group. When the entigen groups do not include an entigen group having a most likely meaning similar to the most likely meaning of the new entigen group, the method further includes updating the entigen groups to include the new entigen group.

The cache management mechanism includes a first level map data structure arranged as a first-in-first-out (FIFO) buffer to list a plurality of host access commands sequentially received from a host device. Each command has an associated host tag value. A cache memory stores user data blocks associated with the commands.

If a match is found, the host tag value is used to locate the cache address for the requested data. If a cache miss occurs, the new command is forwarded to the NVM.
