Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, computing devices, and machine-readable mediums in which the system maintains a list of resources available for each rollback session. In some examples, state data is kept that indicates available memory. If a write occurs for a particular session and the amount of available memory for a session has been used, a flag is set in metadata for the memory location and the write is not mirrored. In this manner, the technical problem of one undo logging session using too much memory and preventing other undo logging sessions from properly functioning is solved by the technical solution of setting resource limits for each undo logging session.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for an efficient turnaround policy for a bus are described. A device may include a memory and a bus for communicating with the memory. The device may operate the bus in a first direction, relative to the memory, that is associated with a first type of access command. The device may determine, for the memory, that a quantity of queued access commands of a second type are for one or more banks that have satisfied a timing constraint for activating different rows in a same bank. Based on determining that the quantity of queued access commands of the second type are for one or more banks that have satisfied the timing constraint, the device may operate the bus in a second direction, relative to the memory, that is associated with the second type of access command.

Additionally, the host system and the memory system may support a second vendor command to initiate a garbage collection procedure at the memory system, or to interrupt an ongoing garbage collection procedure. The host system and the memory system may also support a third vendor command to check the status of an initiated garbage collection procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for improved implicit ordered command handling are described. For instance, a memory device may receive, from a host device, a first command and a second command. The memory device may determine whether a first memory operation associated with the first command and a second memory operation associated with the second command are to be performed in an order relative to each other based on a first time when the first command is received relative to a second time when the second command is received. The memory device may select whether to perform a first memory access procedure or a second memory access procedure based on whether the first memory operation and the second memory operation are a same type of memory operation and on whether the first memory operation and the second memory operation are to be performed in the order relative to each other.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for storing parity during refresh operations are described. In some examples, refresh operations may be performed on a memory device when the memory device is idle. For example, a refresh operation may entail performing a logical operation on first data and a first set of parity bits and second data and a second set of parity bits. The logical operation may generate a third set of parity bits which may be used for data retention purposes. Moreover, during a read operation, the third set of parity bits may be used to recover corrupt or otherwise invalid data in the event of an error.

Abstract: A system related to providing multi-layer code rates for special event protection with reduced performance penalty for memories is disclosed. Based on an impending stress event, extra error correction code data is utilized to encode user data obtained from a host. The user data and first error correction code data are written to a first block and the extra error correction code data is written to a second block. Upon stress event completion, pages having user data with the extra error correction code data are scanned. If pages of the first block are unable to satisfy reliability requirements, a touch-up process is executed on each page in the first block to reinstate the first block so that the extra error correction code data is no longer needed. The extra error correction code data is deleted from the second block and the second block is made available for user data.

Once both the identity of the virtual machine is authenticated, the virtual machine may be permitted to access the secure data in the memory device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for electron beam probing techniques and related structures are described to enable inline testing of memory device structures. Conductive loops may be formed, some of which may be grounded and others of which may be electrically floating in accordance with a predetermined pattern. The loops may be scanned with an electron beam and image analysis techniques may be used to generate an optical pattern. The generated optical pattern may be compared to an expected optical pattern, which may be based on the predetermined pattern of grounded and floating loops. An electrical defect may be determined based on any difference between the generated optical pattern and the expected optical pattern. For example, if a second loop appears as having a brightness corresponding to a grounded loop, this may indicate that an unintended short exists. Fabrication techniques may be adjusted for subsequent devices to correct identified defects.
