  • Parsing stream identifiers to determine data stream attributes
    Patent number: 11574664
    Abstract: An example method of encoding data attributes by data stream identifiers includes: receiving, by a controller managing a memory device, a write command, wherein the write command specifies a first data item and an identifier of a data stream, wherein the data stream comprises the first data item and a second data item; determining, by parsing the identifier of the data stream, a data attribute encoded by the identifier of the data stream, wherein the data attribute is shared by the first data item and the second data item; determining, using the data attribute, a storage operation parameter; and transmitting, to the memory device, an instruction specifying the first data item and the storage operation parameter.
    Type: Grant

  • Encoding data attributes by data stream identifiers
    Patent number: 11393510
    Abstract: An example method of encoding data attributes by data stream identifiers may include: receiving a plurality of data items to be written to a storage device; identifying, among the plurality of data items, a first data item and a second data item sharing a data attribute; generate a data stream identifier comprising an encoded form of the data attribute; and transmitting, to a controller of the storage device, one or more write commands comprising the first data item and the second data item, wherein each write command further specifies the data stream identifier.

  • Utilizing write stream attributes in storage write commands
    Patent number: 10878859
    Abstract: An example method of determining storage operation parameters based on data stream attributes may include: receiving, by a controller, a write command specifying a data item and an identifier of a data stream comprising the data item, wherein a part of the identifier of the data stream encodes a data attribute shared by data items comprised by the data stream; determining, using the data attribute, a storage operation parameter; and transmitting, to a memory device, an instruction specifying the data item and the storage operation parameter.
