Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping for enhanced granularity data storage are described. A memory system may support write operations according to multiple different write granularities and corresponding data transfer sizes. Entries that map logical addresses to physical addresses within the memory system may include first entries associated with a first data transfer size and second entries associated with a second data transfer size that is greater than the first data transfer size. If the memory system receives a write command that indicates a size of data that is less than or equal to the first data transfer size, the system may update the first entries to indicate a mapping. Data indicated via write commands associated with larger data sizes may be mapped by the second entries. The varying entry structure may support improved write operations and throughput for storage of data at varying granularities.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses include receiving a lifetime hint for a zone, where the lifetime hint is an estimation of a length of time user data for the zone will be valid. It is determined that the zone has been fully written to a source memory region. A destination memory region is determined to store the user data for the zone using the lifetime hint. The user data for the zone is moved from the source memory region to the destination memory region.

Abstract: The disclosure configures a memory sub-system controller to optimize initialization of a memory sub-system based on duration of power cycle. The controller initiates memory initialization routine for starting up a memory sub-system after a power loss event. The controller, as part of executing the memory initialization routine, determines that the memory sub-system has previously lost power for a period of time prior to initiating the memory initialization routine. The controller determines whether the period of time transgresses a threshold period of power loss and selectively executes a first set of operations as part of the memory initialization routine in response to determining whether the period of time transgresses the threshold period of power loss.

Abstract: A non-volatile storage system includes a memory controller connected to an integrated memory assembly. The integrated memory assembly includes a memory die comprising non-volatile memory cells and a control die bonded to the memory die. The memory controller receives commands from a host, performs logical address to physical address translation (“address translation”) operations for the commands, and instructs the integrated memory assembly to perform one or more operations in support of the command. The control die also includes the ability to perform the address translation. When performing a command from the host, the memory controller can choose to perform the necessary address translation or instruct the control die to perform the address translation. When the control die performs the address translation, the resulting physical address is used by the control die to perform one or more operations in support of the command.

To utilize space more efficiently on the memory die, the control die compacts fragmented data on the memory die.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to creating new zones in a data storage device in a manner that ensures substantially even workload of the memory device storage locations. When receiving a zone open command in a zone namespace (ZNS) system, rather than randomly selecting an unopen zone, zones may be categorized based upon storage location workload so that any new zone that is opened utilizes the least utilized storage location. In so doing, generally even workload of the memory device storage locations is achieved.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to creating new zones in a data storage device in a manner that ensures substantially even workload of the memory device storage locations. The data storage device can guide a host device to select a particular zone to open in zone namespace (ZNS) systems where the host device selects which zone to open. The data storage device tracks the workload of the various storage locations and create zones. The data storage device then provides selected zones having the least used storage locations with the idea of guiding the host device to select the zone having the least used storage locations. Thus, rather than utilizing a randomly selected unopened zone, the host will select, based upon guidance from the data storage device, zones that contain the least utilized storage location. In so doing, generally even workload of the memory device storage locations is achieved.
