Abstract: A storage circuit includes a buffer coupled between the storage controller and the nonvolatile memory devices. The circuit includes one or more groups of nonvolatile memory (NVM) devices, a storage controller to control access to the NVM device, and the buffer. The buffer is coupled between the storage controller and the NVM devices. The buffer is to re-drive signals on a bus between the NVM devices and the storage controller, including synchronizing the signals to a clock signal for the signals. The circuit can include a data buffer, a command buffer, or both.

Abstract: Examples of a multi-level memory with direct access are described. Examples include designating an amount of a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) for use as memory for a computer system. Examples also include designating a second amount of the NVRAM to for use as storage for the computing device. Examples also include re-designating at least a first portion of the first amount of NVRAM from use as memory to use as storage.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory controller may determine that one or more neighboring memory cells associated with a target memory cell in a memory device are to be refreshed. The controller may generate a command associated with refreshing the one or more neighboring memory cells. The controller may transfer the command from the memory controller to the memory device containing the target memory cell. The command may direct the memory device to refresh the neighboring memory cells and/or return one or more addresses associated with the neighboring memory cells.

Abstract: Systems and methods of interconnecting devices may include an input/output (IO) connector assembly having a voltage regulator, one or more signaling circuits, a first set of contacts, a second set of contacts connected to the one or more signaling circuits, and logic to receive a configuration command. The logic may also connect the first set of contacts to the voltage regulator if the configuration command corresponds to a first protocol. If the configuration command corresponds to a second protocol, on the other hand, the logic can connect the first set of contacts to the one or more signaling circuits.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for processing sequential writes to a block group of physical blocks in a memory device. Sequential write data for a plurality of consecutive logical addresses is received and a determination is made of consecutive physical blocks comprising a block group. Each of the physical blocks has data for a plurality of the consecutive logical addresses. The sequential write data is written to consecutive physical data locations having data for the determined consecutive physical blocks of the block group. The block group metadata for the block group is updated.

Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for processing sequential writes portions of an addressable unit memory dies to store data. A write to a first portion of an addressable unit is received and the write is written to the first portion of the addressable unit. A next write is received to a next portion of the addressable unit following a previous write to a previous portion of the addressable unit. The next write is written to the next portion of the addressable unit sequentially following the previous portion in response to the next write being sequential with respect to the previous write. Data other than the next write is written to the addressable unit following the previous portion in response to the next write not being sequential with respect to the previous write.

Abstract: Examples include techniques for input/output (I/O) access to physical memory or storage by a virtual machine (VM) or a container. Example techniques include use of a queue pair maintained at a controller for I/O access to the physical memory or storage. The queue pair including a submission queue and a completion queue. An assignment of a process address space identifier (PASID) to the queue pair facilitates I/O access to the physical memory or storage for a given VM or container.
