  • PARTIAL CACHING OF MEDIA ADDRESS MAPPING DATA
    Publication number: 20200264984
    Abstract: An entry is read from a first memory component, the entry associated with a first logical address. The first entry includes a first physical address to a segment of a logical-to-physical address map in a second memory component and an indication of whether the segment of the logical-to-physical address map is stored in the first memory component. The segment of the logical-to-physical address map includes a second entry associated with the first logical address. A second physical address is written to the second entry in the first memory component based on a determination from the indication that the segment of the logical-to-physical address map is stored in the first memory component.

  • Dynamic allocation of volatile memory to storage management components of a non-volatile storage device
    Patent number: 10628044
    Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include firmware for the non-volatile storage device, during boot up, dynamically allocating volatile memory to a plurality of storage management components. The allocation includes detecting an indicator of a total amount of volatile memory to be allocated to the storage management components. The firmware maps the indicator to a first amount of volatile memory to allocate to a first set of one or more components and allocates the first amount of the volatile memory to the first set of components. The firmware allocates remaining volatile memory to a flash translation layer.
