Patent number: 10776007Abstract: A memory management device of an example of the invention controls writing into and reading from a main memory including a nonvolatile semiconductor memory and a volatile semiconductor memory in response to a writing request and a reading request from a processor. The memory management device includes a coloring information storage unit that stores coloring information generated based on a data characteristic of write target data to be written into at least one of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory and the volatile semiconductor memory, and a writing management unit that references the coloring information to determines a region into which the write target data is written from the nonvolatile semiconductor memory and the volatile semiconductor memory.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2015Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: TOSHIBA MEMORY CORPORATIONInventors: Atsushi Kunimatsu, Masaki Miyagawa, Hiroshi Nozue, Kazuhiro Kawagome, Hiroto Nakai, Hiroyuki Sakamoto, Tsutomu Owa, Tsutomu Unesaki, Reina Nishino, Kenichi Maeda, Mari Takada

Patent number: 10310747Abstract: According to one embodiment, a device includes a determination unit, compression unit, selecting unit, write updating unit, writing unit. The determination unit determines whether to compress write data based on specific information. The specific information including at least one of the type, number of accesses, access frequency and importance level of the write data. The compression unit compresses the write data when determining to compress the write data. The selecting unit selects a write region for the write data in nonvolatile memory based on the specific information. The write updating unit updates the specific information. The writing unit writes compressed write data into the write region when determining to compress the write data. The writing unit writes uncompressed write data into the write region when not determining to compress the write data.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 4, 2019Assignee: TOSHIBA MEMORY CORPORATIONInventors: Tsutomu Owa, Masaki Miyagawa, Atsushi Kunimatsu, Mari Takada
