Abstract: A processing device in a memory sub-system generates a fill operation to store data from a memory device at a cache of a memory sub-system, assigns a first priority indicator to the fill operation associated with the data, and assigns a second priority indicator to a read operation associated with a request to read the data from the memory sub-system. The processing device further determines a schedule of executing the fill operation and the read operation based on the first priority indicator and the second priority indicator and executes the fill operation and the read operation based on the determined schedule.

Abstract: A determination can be made of a type of memory access workload for an application. A determination can be made whether the memory access workload for the application is associated with sequential read operations. The data associated with the application can be stored at one of a cache of a first type or another cache of a second type based on the determination of whether the memory workload for the application is associated with sequential read operations.

Abstract: A request to access data at an address is received from a host system. A tag associated with the address is determined to not be found in first entries in a first content-addressable memory (CAM) or in second entries in a second CAM. Responsive to determining that the tag is not found in the first entries or in the second entries, a particular entry of the first entries that each includes valid data is selected. A determination is made whether the particular entry satisfies a condition indicating that content in the particular entry is to be stored in the second CAM. The content is associated with other data stored in the cache. Responsive to determining that the condition is satisfied, the content of the particular entry is stored in one of the second entries to maintain the data in the cache.

Abstract: A system includes a first controller configured to adjust a count of a number of first transactions and adjust a count of a number of second transactions. The count of the number of first transactions and the count of the number of second transactions are adjusted when a first transaction or second transaction is either received or executed by a second controller. The second controller is coupled to the first controller and is configured to limit the number of first transactions to a particular quantity of outstanding first transactions, limit the number of second transactions to a particular quantity of outstanding second transactions, and limit a number of total transactions to a particular quantity of outstanding total transactions.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein provide for secure data communication between a host system and a memory sub-system. For example, some embodiments use a salt value, symmetric encryption, and asymmetric encryption to facilitate secure data communication between the host system and the memory sub-system.

Abstract: A command indicating a logical address and a length system is received from a host system. One or more memory units in a memory sub-system corresponding to the logical address and the length are identified. An indicator associated with the one or more memory units is set, to indicate that the one or more memory units are invalid. The one or more memory units are excluded from a media management operation performing in the memory sub-system.

Abstract: Various embodiments described herein provide for selectively sending a cache-based read command, such as a speculative read (SREAD) command in accordance with a Non-Volatile Dual In-Line Memory Module-P (NVDIMM-P) memory protocol, to a memory sub-system.

Abstract: An indication to perform an eviction operation on a cache line in a cache can be received. A determination can be made as to whether at least one sector of the cache line is associated with invalid data. In response to determining that at least one sector of the cache line is associated with invalid data, a read operation can be performed to retrieve valid data associated with the at least one sector. The at least one sector of the cache line that is associated with the invalid data can be modified based on the valid data. Furthermore, the eviction operation can be performed on the cache line with the modified at least one sector.

Abstract: A memory system having memory components and a processing device to receive, from a host system, write commands to store data in the memory components, store the write commands in a buffer, and execute at least a portion of the write commands. For example, this write buffer capacity can be represented by write credit values on the host and the subsystem. The processing device determines an amount of available capacity of the buffer that becomes available after execution of at least the portion of the write commands, and signals the host system to receive information identifying the amount of available capacity, without a pending information request received from the host system.

Abstract: A processing device identifies a portion of data in a cache memory to be written to a managed unit of a separate memory device and determines, based on respective memory addresses, whether an additional portion of data associated with the managed unit is stored in the cache memory. The processing device further generates a bit mask identifying a first location and a second location in the managed unit, wherein the first location is associated with the portion of data and the second location is associated with the additional portion of data, and performs, based on the bit mask, a read-modify-write operation to write the portion of data to the first location in the managed unit of the separate memory device and the additional portion of data to the second location in the managed unit of the separate memory device.
