Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to a memory system including a filter. An example apparatus can include a filter to store a number flags, wherein each of the number of flags corresponds to a cache entry and each of the number of flags identifies a portion of the memory device where data of a corresponding cache entry is stored in the memory device.

Abstract: Data is stored at a cache portion of a cache memory of a memory sub-system responsive to a request to perform a write operation to write the data. A duplicate copy of the data is stored at a write buffer portion of the cache memory. The cache memory is partitioned into the cache portion and the write buffer portion. An entry that maps a location of the duplicate copy of the data stored at the write buffer portion of the cache memory to a location of the data stored at the cache portion of the cache memory is recorded in a write buffer record.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for performing data migration operations are disclosed. An apparatus may include at least two interfaces, a first interface supporting data migration operations and a second interface supporting access operations associated with a host device. In some cases, the access operations may be a signal or protocol according to an industry standard or specification (e.g., a DRAM interface specification). The second interface may facilitate supporting industry standard applications, while the first interface supporting data migration operations may provide improved bandwidth for migrating data within the apparatus. The apparatus may include a buffer coupled with the interface and a bank cluster including two or more banks of memory cells. When a host device addresses a bank of the bank cluster, the apparatus may perform one or more data migration operations using the buffer and a different bank of the bank cluster.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to a memory module controller are disclosed. An example apparatus, such as a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), includes a first interface coupled to a host, and a second interface coupled to another memory module. The memory module includes a controller configured to simultaneously communicate with the host via the first interface, which may be a non-volatile DIMM (NVDIMM) interface in one example, and communicate with the other memory module via the second interface. In some examples, the first and second interfaces are configured according to different standards or protocols. The controller controls access to memory on the memory module. The controller may be configured to receive commands from a direct memory access (DMA) module. In some examples, the other memory module connected via the second interface includes a local controller and memory of a different type.

Abstract: Memory having internal processors, and methods of data communication within such a memory are provided. In one embodiment, an internal processor may concurrently access one or more banks on a memory array on a memory device via one or more buffers. The internal processor may be coupled to a buffer capable of accessing more than one bank, or coupled to more than one buffer that may each access a bank, such that data may be retrieved from and stored in different banks concurrently. Further, the memory device may be configured for communication between one or more internal processors through couplings between memory components, such as buffers coupled to each of the internal processors. Therefore, a multi-operation instruction may be performed by different internal processors, and data (such as intermediate results) from one internal processor may be transferred to another internal processor of the memory, enabling parallel execution of an instruction(s).

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed including a first memory device, a second memory device coupled to the first memory device, where the second memory device has a lower access latency than the first memory device and acts as a cache for the first memory device. A processing device operatively coupled to the first and second memory devices can track access statistics of segments of data stored at the second memory device, the segments having a first granularity, and determine to update, based on the access statistics, a segment of data stored at the second memory device from the first granularity to a second granularity. The processing device can further retrieve additional data associated with the segment of data from the first memory device and store the additional data at the second memory device to form a new segment having the second granularity.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include identifying that a first cache line from a first cache is subject to an operation that copies data from the first cache to a non-volatile memory. A first portion of the first cache line stores clean data and a second portion of the first cache line stores dirty data. A redundant copy of the dirty data is stored in a second cache line of the first cache. In response to identifying that the first cache line is subject to the operation, metadata associated with the redundant copy of the dirty data is used to copy the dirty data to a non-volatile memory while omitting the clean data.

Abstract: A request to perform a write operation to write data at a memory sub-system is received. Responsive to the request to perform the write operation, the data is stored at a cache portion of cache memory of the memory sub-system. A duplicate copy of the data is stored at a write buffer portion of cache memory. An entry of the write buffer record is recorded that maps a location of the duplicate copy of the data stored at the write buffer portion to a location of the data stored at the cache portion of the cache memory. A memory operation is performed at the memory sub-system based at least in part on the write buffer record.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for performing data migration operations using a memory system are described. The memory system may include a data migration component, such as a driver, for facilitating the transfer of data between a first memory device that may implement a first memory technology (e.g., having a relatively fast access speed) and a second memory device that may implement a second memory technology (e.g., having a relatively large capacity). The component may indicate the data migration operation to a second component (e.g., a controller) of the memory system. The second component may initiate the transfer of data between the first memory device and the second memory device based on the receiving the indication of the data migration operation. In some cases, the transfer of data between the first memory device and the second memory device may occur within the memory system without being transferred through a host device.

Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include identifying that a first cache line from a first cache is subject to an operation that copies data from the first cache to a non-volatile memory. A first portion of the first cache line stores clean data and a second portion of the first cache line stores dirty data. A redundant copy of the dirty data is stored in a second cache line of the first cache. In response to identifying that the first cache line is subject to the operation, metadata associated with the redundant copy of the dirty data is used to copy the dirty data to a non-volatile memory while omitting the clean data.

Abstract: A method is described for managing the issuance and fulfillment of memory commands. The method includes receiving, by a cache controller of a memory subsystem, a first memory command corresponding to a set of memory devices. In response, the cache controller adds the first memory command to a cache controller command queue such that the cache controller command queue stores a first set of memory commands and sets a priority of the first memory command to either a high or low priority based on (1) whether the first memory command is of a first or second type and (2) an origin of the first memory command.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods related to command selection policy for electronic memory or storage are described. Commands to a memory controller may be prioritized based on a type of command, a timing of when one command was received relative to another command, a timing of when one command is ready to be issued to a memory device, or some combination of such factors. For instance, a memory controller may employ a first-ready, first-come, first-served (FRFCFS) policy in which certain types of commands (e.g., read commands) are prioritized over other types of commands (e.g., write commands). The policy may employ exceptions to such an FRFCFS policy based on dependencies or relationships among or between commands. An example can include inserting a command into a priority queue based on a category corresponding to respective commands, and iterating through a plurality of priority queues in order of priority to select a command to issue.

Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses and methods related to a memory system with cache line data. An example apparatus can store data in a number of cache lines in the cache, wherein each of the number of lines includes a number of chunks of data that are individually accessible.
