  • Reclaim algorithm for fast edits in a nonvolatile file system
    Patent number: 7913003
    Abstract: A processing device stores fragmented files in a nonvolatile memory that are tracked in RAM as direct pointers. The initial file is stored in memory and data edits are stored in new memory locations and tracked as file offsets in the header structures associated with the memory blocks. The new reclaim/collapse algorithm collapses data into a reserved memory block using the edited file offsets.

  • Flash memory directory virtualization
    Publication number: 20060253484
    Abstract: Directory virtualization may be achieved in semiconductor memories, such as flash memories, by providing a system in which files and directories are interchangeable. A directory may be stored at a virtual address which points to various files. From the user perspective, a tree hierarchy may be achieved. From a hardware standpoint, a series of entries in a table may be linked together by various pointers.
