  • Publication number: 20200393984
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to channel architecture for memory devices are described. Various applications can access data from a memory device via a plurality of channels. The channels can be selectively enabled or disabled based on the behavior of the applications. For instance, an apparatus in the form of a memory system can include an interface coupled to a controller and a plurality of channels. The controller can be configured to determine an aggregate amount of bandwidth used by a plurality of applications accessing data from a memory device coupled to the controller via the plurality of channels and disable one or more channels of the plurality of channels based, at least in part, on the aggregate amount of bandwidth used by the plurality of applications.

  • Publication number: 20200394100
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to host-based error correction are described. Error correction operations can be performed on a host computing system as opposed to on a memory system. For instance, data containing erroneous bits can be transferred from a memory system to a host computing system and error correction operations can be performed using circuitry resident on the host computing system. In an example, a method can include receiving, by a host computing system, data that comprises a plurality of uncorrected bits from a memory system coupleable to the host computing system, determining an acceptable error range for the data based at least in part on an application associated with the data, and performing, using error correction logic resident on the host computing system, an initial error correction operation on the data based at least in part on the acceptable error range.

  • Patent number: 10838645
    Abstract: Generally, a computing system includes processing circuitry, such as one or more processors or other suitable components, and memory devices, such as chips or integrated circuits. The memory devices may be associated with thermal limits. Saving data in such a way that causes a thermal limit of the memory device to be exceeded may cause loss of stored data and/or device over-heating. As discussed herein, a memory controller associated with the processing circuitry may determine whether a thermal limit is expected to be exceeded for a current memory writing operation. When the thermal limit is expected to be exceeded, the memory controller may respond by modifying the memory operation in such a manner that the thermal limit is not exceeded, thereby improving operation of at least the memory device and/or memory controller.

  • Patent number: 10824502
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for error recovery in memory devices are described. A die-level redundancy scheme may be employed in which parity data associated with particular die may be stored. An example apparatus may include a printed circuit board and memory devices. Each memory device may be each disposed on a planar surface of the printed circuit board and may each include two or more memory die. The apparatus may also include multiple channels communicatively coupled to the two or more memory die and a memory controller. The memory controller may be communicatively coupled to the multiple channels and may deterministically maintain a redundancy scheme via data transmission through the multiple channels. The memory controller may also update memory operation information appended to the enhanced codeword in response to a memory operation request.

  • Patent number: 10817435
    Abstract: A method for wear leveling memory elements in a memory component of a memory subsystem is described. The method includes a memory subsystem receiving a write request that includes user data and a logical address, removing a next physical address from a next address queue, which stores physical addresses that are designated to be used for fulfilling write requests, and writing the user data to the next physical address in the memory component. Further, the memory subsystem locates, in a logical-to-physical table, an entry associated with the logical address of the write request and includes an old physical address that is mapped to the logical address of the write request. The memory subsystem adds the old physical address to a disposal address queue, wherein the disposal address queue stores physical addresses that are not designated to be used for fulfilling write requests.

  • Publication number: 20200285298
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods related to thermal leveling are described. Thermal leveling can be performed on a host computing system as opposed to on a memory system. Thermal leveling can include operations performed by a host to control temperature characteristics and/or power consumption of a memory system. For instance, a host computing system can control temperature characteristics of multiple memory devices that are deployed in a memory system. In an example, a set of processing resources (e.g., a thermal leveling component) can be provided on a host. The set of processing resources can receive information corresponding to thermal characteristics of a memory device coupled to the host and control a thermal setting for the memory device based on the received thermal characteristics.
