  • Publication number: 20240069788
    Abstract: In some implementations, a controller of a memory device may obtain a first metric associated with a memory of the memory device using a first memory read configuration. The controller may apply a function to the first metric to obtain a second memory read configuration. The controller may obtain a second metric associated with the memory using the second memory read configuration. The controller may filter the first metric and the second metric to obtain a first filtered metric and a second filtered metric. The controller may provide the first filtered metric and the second filtered metric to a memory management process executing on the controller. The controller may perform an action based on an output of the memory management process, wherein the output is based on the first filtered metric and the second filtered metric.

  • Patent number: 11675655
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting an optimal error recovery procedure for correcting a read error in a solid-state drive are provided. A machine learning model is trained to forecast which error recovery procedure of a plurality of error recovery procedures is most likely to achieve a predetermined goal given a state of a solid-state drive. The predetermined goal is based on at least one of a read latency and a failure rate of the solid-state drive. A current state of the solid-state drive is determined. An error recovery procedure is selected from among the plurality of error recovery procedures by inputting the current state of the solid-state drive into the trained machine learning model, thereby triggering the trained machine learning model to output the selected error recovery procedure. The selected error recovery procedure is executed to recover data from the solid-state drive.

  • Publication number: 20230012648
    Abstract: A memory system configured to dynamically adjust the amount of redundant information stored in memory cells of a wordline on an integrated circuit die based on a bit error rate. For example, in response to a determination that a bit error rate of the wordline is above a threshold, the memory system can store first data items as independent first codewords of an error correction code technique into a first portion of the memory cells of the wordline, generate second data items as redundant information from the first codewords, and store the second data items in a second portion of the memory cells of the wordline. If the bit error rate is below the threshold, third data items can be stored as independent second codewords of the same length as the first codewords in the memory cells of the wordline.

  • Patent number: 11366753
    Abstract: A storage access request to access a solid state drive (SSD) is received. A storage access timer is set with a time duration, where the time duration is based on a desired performance of the SSD. A non-volatile memory command associated with the storage access request is sent to non-volatile memory. The storage access timer is started. A determination is made whether the non-volatile memory completed execution of the non-volatile memory command after the storage access timer indicates that the time duration elapsed. An indication that the storage access request is complete is sent to a host if the non-volatile memory completed execution of the non-volatile memory command. Alternatively, the storage access timer is reset with the time duration if the non-volatile memory has not completed execution of the non-volatile memory command.
