Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for directed sanitization of memory. One example method comprises, responsive to receiving a sanitization command, performing a deterministic garbage collection operation on a memory, wherein performing the deterministic garbage collection operation results in physical erasure of all invalid data stored on the memory without losing valid data stored on the memory.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a controller to manage memory proximity disturb. The controller identifies a first memory location in response to an access of a second memory location, the first memory location storing a first value. The controller updates a first disturb value by a first amount, the first disturb value representing a cumulative disturb effect on the first value in the first memory location by accesses to a first plurality of memory locations proximate to the first memory location, the first plurality of memory locations including the second memory location.

Abstract: An example method can include, responsive to receiving a sanitization command, performing a deterministic garbage collection operation on a memory. The deterministic garbage collection operation performed on the memory can result in physical erasure of all invalid data stored on the memory without losing valid data stored on the memory.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards apparatuses and methods for temperature management of a non-volatile memory device, e.g., an open-channel solid state device (OCSSD). In embodiments, an apparatus includes a temperature manager operatively coupled to the processor to submit a request for a temperature of an individual die of a memory device and based at least in part on a response to the request that includes the received temperature of the individual die, control access to the individual die by selectively restricting access to the individual die, while permitting access to another individual die on the memory device. In embodiments, the request is submitted via an input/output (I/O) path or I/O queue and includes a physical address of the individual memory die. Additional embodiments may be described and claimed.
