Abstract: Devices and techniques for implementing quality-of-service (QoS) parameters in a managed memory device having a number of memory dies are disclosed herein.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for a fast secure data destruction for NAND memory devices that renders data in a memory cell unreadable. Instead of going through all the erase phases, the memory device may remove sensitive data by performing only the pre-programming phase of the erase process. Thus, the NAND doesn't perform the second and third phases of the erase process. This is much faster and results in data that cannot be reconstructed. In some examples, because the erase pulse is not actually applied and because this is simply a programming operation, data may be rendered unreadable at a per-page level rather than a per-block level as in traditional erases.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for host accelerated operations in managed NAND devices are described herein. A read request is received at a controller of a NAND device. Here, the read request includes a logical address and a physical address. A a verification component that corresponds to the physical address is retrieved a NAND array of the NAND device. A verification of the read request is computed using the logical address, the physical address, and the verification component. A read operation is then modified based on the verification.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including providing available data operations for the storage system processor to a host processor, identifying data operations to be performed by the storage system processor, and assigning identified data operations to the storage system processor to reduce bus traffic between the host processor and the storage system processor, to improve host processor performance, and to reduce energy use by the host processor.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are disclosed, including a memory device or a memory controller configured to determine that a condition has occurred that indicates a performance throttling operation, implement a performance throttling responsive to the determined condition, responsive to implementing the performance throttling, set a performance throttling status indicator in an exception event status attribute, receive a command from a host device across a memory device interface, perform the command, prepare a response to the command, the response including a flag indicating that the performance throttling status indicator is set in the exception event status attribute, and send the response to the host device. Methods of operation are disclosed, as well as machine-readable medium and other embodiments.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, machine-readable mediums, and NAND devices which create logical partitions when requested to create a physical partition. The controller on the NAND mimics the creation of the physical partition to the host device that requested the physical partition. Thus, the host device sees the logical partition as a physical partition. Despite this, the NAND does not incur the memory storage expense of creating a separate partition, and additionally the NAND can borrow cells for overprovisioning from another partition. In these examples, a host device operating system believes that a physical partition has been created, but the NAND manages the memory as a contiguous pool of resources. Thus, a logical partition is created at the NAND memory controller level—as opposed to at the operating system level.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for implementing quality-of-service (QoS) parameters in a managed memory device having a number of memory dies are disclosed herein. A memory controller can receive instructions from a host device, determine an initial priority for each instruction using QoS parameters, and allocate the received instructions to the number of memory dies using the initial priority. The memory controller can maintain separate schedules for each of the number or memory dies, update the initial priority for each instruction with the separate schedules, and maintain each of the separate schedules using the updated priority for each instruction in the respective separate schedule.

Abstract: Devices and techniques for efficient allocation of storage connection resources are disclosed herein. An active trigger for a storage device is received when the storage device is in an idle state. A workload that corresponds to the storage device is measured to determine that the workload meets a threshold. Connection parameters, for a connection to the storage device, are negotiated based on the workload in response to receipt of the active trigger and the workload meeting the threshold. The workload is then executed on the storage device via the connection using the connection parameters.

Abstract: The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins that are degraded and/or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds of the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand that binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety that binds a target protein, such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds of the present invention, consistent with the degradation/inhibition of targeted polypeptides.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are memory devices which feature customizable Single Level Cell (SLC) and Multiple Level Cell (MLC) configurations. The SLC memory cells serve as a high-speed cache providing SLC level performance with the storage capacity of a memory device with MLC memory cells. The proportion of cells configured as MLC vs the proportion that are configured as SLC storage may be configurable, and in some examples, the proportion may change during usage based upon configurable rules based upon memory device metrics. In some examples, when the device activity is below an activity threshold, the memory device may skip the SLC cache and place the data directly into the MLC storage to reduce power consumption.

Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are memory devices which feature customizable Single Level Cell (SLC) and Multiple Level Cell (MLC) configurations. The configuration (e.g., the size and position) of the SLC cache may have an impact on power consumption, speed, and other performance of the memory device. An operating system of an electronic device to which the memory device is installed may wish to achieve different performance of the device based upon certain conditions detectable by the operating system. In this way, the performance of the memory device can be customized by the operating system through adjustments of the performance characteristics of the SLC cache.
