Abstract: Multiple independent point-to-point memory channels are operated, by at least one controller, in parallel to form a wider memory channel. The memory components on these point-to-point channels include the ability to connect to multiple (e.g., 2) instances of these independent memory channels. The controller operates multiple instances of the wider channels with the memory components configured in a clamshell mode. A single memory component is also operated in clamshell mode to provide error correction code information, independently of the other wider channels, to multiple instances of the wider memory channel.

Abstract: Storage devices are configured to be utilized in a variety of blockchain related activities that rely on a proof of space consensus model. These storage devices are required to process a lot of read and write cycles on their memory devices to generate the desired proof of space consensus data. The generation and storing of this generated data requires very different types of memory device usage. Storage devices may be configured to optimize these different usage types upon detecting these proof of space blockchain activities. These optimizations can include suspending one or more background or other garbage collection activities. Additional optimizations can further include configuring partitions or namespaces to comprise single-level-cell majority or single-level-cell only memory devices to increase writing speeds. Further optimizations can include interleaving or extending the length of error correction codes.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a clocking system that generates first and second clock signals and a clock enable signal, and a testing system that tests the clocking system. During a capture phase of an at-speed testing mode of the IC, the second clock signal is a gated version of the first clock signal and includes two clock pulses. The testing system determines a first count of clock pulses of the first clock signal between an activation of the capture phase and an assertion of the clock enable signal. Similarly, the testing system determines a second count of clock pulses of the first clock signal between the two clock pulses of the second clock signal. The testing system then compares the first count with a first reference value and the second count with a second reference value to detect a fault in the clocking system.
