Abstract: A multilevel memory system includes a nonvolatile memory (NVM) device with an NVM media having a media write unit that is different in size than a host write unit of a host controller of the system that has the multilevel memory system. The memory device includes a media controller that controls writes to the NVM media. The host controller sends a write transaction to the media controller. The write transaction can include the write data in host write units, while the media controller will commit data in media write units to the NVM media. The media controller can send a transaction message to indicate whether the write data for the write transaction was successfully committed to the NVM media.

Abstract: In a computational modeling method for identifying how to apply a modifying agent during a three-dimensional (3D) printing method, a thermal diffusion model of a layer of a 3D object to be formed from a portion of a sinterable material using the 3D printing method is created. The thermal diffusion model is created by a computer running computer readable instructions stored on a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium. A quantity of the modifying agent to be selectively applied is calculated, by the computer, based upon the thermal diffusion model.
