  • Publication number: 20130205114
    Abstract: The method includes receiving an object operation from an application at a hardware device manager. The object operation includes an object identifier. The method includes performing the object operation directly on a storage device. A physical address for the object corresponding to the object identifier is mapped directly to the object identifier in an index managed by the hardware device manager.

  • Publication number: 20130205097
    Abstract: A system and method facilitate processing atomic storage requests. The method includes receiving, from a storage client, an atomic storage request for a first storage device that is incapable of processing atomic write operations. The method also includes processing the atomic storage request at a translation interface. The method also includes storing the atomic storage request in one or more storage operations in a second storage device capable of processing the atomic storage request.

  • Publication number: 20130205085
    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory array with a plurality of memory elements. Each memory element is configured to store data. The device includes an input/output (I/O) buffer coupled to the memory array. The I/O buffer is configured to receive data from an I/O interface of a memory device controller and write the data to the memory array. The device includes a memory control manager coupled to the memory array. The memory control manager is configured to pause a program operation to the memory array in response to receiving a pause command. The memory control manager is also configured to resume the program operation in response to receiving a resume command.

  • Publication number: 20130198451
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an input/output (I/O) interface configured to couple a controller to an I/O buffer of a memory device. The controller includes an erase module coupled to the I/O interface. The erase module is configured to issue an instruction to the memory device to erase data from the memory device. The controller includes an erase suspend module coupled to the I/O interface. The erase suspend module is configured to determine that an erase operation executing within the electronic memory device satisfies a suspend policy in response to receiving a memory access request to perform an operation on the memory device on which the erase operation is executing. The erase suspend module is further configured to issue a suspend command to the memory device to suspend the erase operation.

  • Publication number: 20130039141
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for power reduction management. The method includes determining that a power source has failed to supply electric power above a predefined threshold. The method includes terminating one or more non-essential in-process operations on a nonvolatile memory device during a power hold-up time. The method includes executing one or more essential in-process operations on the nonvolatile memory device within the power hold-up time.
