  • Publication number: 20230362280
    Abstract: A memory system having one or more memory components and a controller. The controller can receive access requests from a communication connection. The access requests can identify data items associated with the access requests, addresses of the data items, and contexts of the data items in which the data items are used for the access requests. The controller can identify separate memory regions for separate contexts respectively, determine placements of the data items in the separate memory regions based on the contexts of the data items, and determine a mapping between the addresses of the data items and memory locations that are within the separate memory regions corresponding to the contexts of the data items. The memory system stores store the data items at the memory locations separated by different memory regions according to different contexts.

  • Patent number: 11663133
    Abstract: A processing device in a host system monitors a data temperature of a plurality of memory pages stored in a host-addressable region of a cache memory component operatively coupled with the host system. The processing device determines that a first memory page of the plurality of memory pages satisfies a first threshold criterion pertaining to the data temperature of the first memory page and sends a first migration command indicating the first memory page to a direct memory access (DMA) engine executing on a memory-mapped storage component operatively coupled with the cache memory component and with the memory-mapped storage component via a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) bus. The first migration command causes the DMA engine to initiate a first DMA transfer of the first memory page from the cache memory component to a host-addressable region of the memory-mapped storage component.

  • Patent number: 11630594
    Abstract: A graph can be generated based on an access pattern associated with blocks of a memory device that have been accessed by a host system, wherein the graph comprises nodes representing at least a subset of the blocks that have been accessed by the host system and edges that are based on the access pattern, wherein each edge is associated with a respective probability value between a respective pair of nodes. A number of edges having respective probability values that satisfy a probability value threshold criterion can be determined. It can be determined whether the number of edges satisfies a decayed edge value condition. In response to determining that the number of edges does not satisfy the decayed edge value condition, the graph can be removed.
