  • Publication number: 20230111015
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for integrating a pivot table in a logical-to-physical mapping of a memory system are described. The memory system may receive a read command and read a first entry of a first subset of mapping and a second entry of a second subset of mapping. The second entry may include at least a portion of a pivot table associated with physical addresses of a non-volatile memory device. The memory system may retrieve data from a physical address identified in the pivot table, rather than access a different portion of the logical-to-physical mapping. The memory system may transmit, to a host system, the data retrieved from the physical address identified in the pivot table.

  • Publication number: 20230069752
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for automotive boot optimization are described. For instance, a memory system may record addresses that are accessed as part of multiple phases of a first boot-up procedure. During a second boot-up procedure, the memory system may transfer, from a logical block address of a non-volatile memory device to a volatile memory device, information for a respective phase based on the recording of the phases of the first boot-up procedure. The memory system may receive a command to transmit the information to a host system as part of the respective phase after transferring the information from the non-volatile device to the volatile memory device.

  • Publication number: 20230063502
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory operations are described. A host system may obtain data for writing to a memory system. The host system may send, to the memory system, an indication that the data is to be written to the memory system, and the memory system may remove invalid data at the memory system until the memory system has sufficient resources to store the data. Based on the memory system having sufficient resources, the memory system may delay background operations at the memory system until the data has been written to the memory system. The memory system may also create a restore point based on the memory system having sufficient resources and receiving the data. In other examples, the removal of invalid data at the memory system may be delayed until after the data is written to the memory system.

  • Publication number: 20230060200
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for suspend operation with data transfer to a host system are described. A host system may transmit a read command to a memory system operating in a first mode of operation (e.g., a standard mode associated with a nominal power consumption) indicating for the memory system to transition to a second mode of operation (e.g., a suspend mode associated with a decreased power consumption). Here, the memory system may transmit an image of the memory system stored in volatile memory to the host system and transition the memory system to the second mode. Additionally, the host system may transmit, to the memory system operating in the second mode, a write command including the image and indicating for the memory system to transition to the first mode. Here, the memory system may write the image to the volatile memory and transition to the first mode.

  • Publication number: 20230041215
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power management techniques are described. A memory system may receive a command to exit a first power mode and enter a second power mode. The first power mode may have a lower power consumption than the second power mode. The memory system may determine whether a duration of an idle period associated with the first power mode satisfies a threshold based on receiving the command to exit the first power mode. The memory system may receive another command associated with executing a flush operation and perform one or more power management operations based on receiving the command and determining that the duration satisfies the threshold.

  • Publication number: 20220350532
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices supporting techniques for memory system configuration using a queue refill time are described. A memory system may receive a command from a host system and may add the command to a command queue including a set of commands to be executed by the memory system. The memory system may determine a queue refill time of the command queue using measurements for at least one queue tag of the command queue and may adjust at least one resource of the command queue in response to the determined queue refill time. In some examples, the memory system may reallocate processing or memory resources previously allocated to the command queue, deactivate processing or memory resources previously allocated to the command queue, adjust a threshold queue depth for the command queue, or any combination thereof, among other options, based on the queue refill time.

  • Publication number: 20220342808
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for usage level identification for memory device addresses are described. Systems, techniques, and devices are described herein in which a memory device may determine where to store data according to a level of usage of the data. The memory device may receive a write command indicating data to be written, a type of the data, and a logical address of a memory array for writing the data. The memory device may identify an entry associated with the logical address in a table that maps the logical address to a physical address of the memory array. The entry may include a field configured to maintain a level of usage for the logical address. The memory device may update the level of usage value according to a process and write the data to a physical address of the memory array based on the level of usage value.

  • Publication number: 20220342737
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for detecting page fault traffic are described. A memory device may execute a self-learning algorithm to determine a priority size for read requests, such as a maximum readahead window size or other size related to page faults in a memory system. The memory device may determine the priority size based at least in part on by tracking how many read requests are received for different sizes of sets of data. Once the priority size is determined, the memory device may detect subsequent read requests for sets of data having the priority size, and the memory device may prioritize or other optimize the execution of such read requests.

  • Publication number: 20220188237
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for unmap operation techniques are described. A memory system may include a volatile memory device and a non-volatile memory device. The memory system may receive a set of unmap commands that each include a logical block address associated with unused data. The memory system may determine whether one or more parameters associated with the set of unmap commands satisfy a threshold. If the one or more parameters satisfy the threshold, the memory system may select a first procedure for performing the set of unmap commands different from a second procedure (e.g., a default procedure) for performing the set of unmap commands and may perform the set of unmap commands using the first procedure. If the one or more parameters do not satisfy the threshold, the memory system may perform the set of unmap commands using the second procedure.
