  • Patent number: 11972115
    Abstract: A memory system includes a management-information restoring unit. The management-information restoring unit determines whether a short break has occurred referring to a pre-log or a post-log in a NAND memory. The management-information restoring unit determines that a short break has occurred when the pre-log or the post-log is present in the NAND memory. In that case, the management-information restoring unit determines timing of occurrence of the short break, and, after selecting a pre-log or a post-log used for restoration, performs restoration of the management information reflecting these logs on a snapshot. Thereafter, the management-information restoring unit applies recovery processing to all write-once blocks in the NAND memory, takes the snapshot again, and opens the snapshot and the logs in the past.

  • Publication number: 20240013658
    Abstract: In one aspect, a processing method is executed by a processor to perform processing related to driving of a host moving object that is configured to communicate with a target moving object. The processing method includes: monitoring an envelope violation that is a violation of a safety envelope in which safety of intended functionality is set in the host moving object with respect to another road user other than the target moving object; and generating, when the envelope violation is recognized in the host moving object, warning information for warning of the envelope violation that is to be transmitted to the target moving object.

    Abstract: A storage system includes non-volatile storage devices and a control device. Each of the storage devices is divided into blocks, and data is erased in units of the blocks. The control device includes a setting unit and a writing/reading unit. The setting unit sets first storage regions obtained by dividing a storage region for each of the storage devices and sets second storage regions obtained by dividing storage regions of all of the storage devices for all of the storage devices. The writing/reading unit manages data stored in the storage devices in units of the second storage regions. The setting unit sets each of the first storage regions so that the first storage region for at least one of the plurality of storage devices includes the entirety of one or more blocks and sets each of the second storage regions to include two or more of the first storage regions.
