Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a cloud computing environment. In accordance with some embodiments, data updates are received to a multi-tier memory structure across a cloud network and stored as working data in an upper rewritable non-volatile memory tier of the memory structure. The working data are periodically logged to a lower non-volatile memory tier in the memory structure while a current version of the working data remain in the upper memory tier. The upper and lower memory tiers each are formed of rewritable memory cells having different constructions and storage attributes.

Upon receiving a precondition command from a host operably connected to the SSD to precondition a range of LBAs of the storage media, a plurality of physical units of the storage media to be preconditioned are determined based on the range of LBAs. A workload pattern is determined from the precondition command, and upon determining that the workload pattern indicates a random pattern, a valid page count for each of the plurality of physical units is computed based on a random distribution. Forward mapping table entries of a forward mapping table associated with the storage media corresponding to the range of LBAs is then populated with random physical addresses from the plurality of physical units based at least on the computed valid page count for each of the plurality of physical units.

Processing of host commands may be throttled based on a determined amount of work to garbage collect a plurality of blocks, in order to limit variability in host command throughput over a time period.

Abstract: A memory controller manages memory access operations through a flash memory interface of a memory array of a solid-state storage device connected to a host. The memory controller executes a first memory access operation in the memory array. The first memory access operation has a first priority. The memory controller detects a suspending memory access operation available for execution in the memory array and having a higher priority than the first priority. The detection operation distinguishes between suspending memory access operations and non-suspending memory access operations. The memory controller suspends execution of the first memory access operation in the memory array and executes one or more memory access operations having higher priorities than the first priority and being available for execution in the memory array. The memory controller resumes the execution of the first memory access operation in the memory array.
