  • Patent number: 11955175
    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device comprising a value data block a content addressable memory (CAM) block storing a plurality of stored search keys. The memory system further includes a processing device that receives an input search key, identifies, from the plurality of stored search keys in a CAM block of a memory device, multiple redundant copies of a stored search key that match the input search key, and determines a plurality of locations in a value data block, the plurality of locations corresponding to the multiple redundant copies, wherein one of the plurality of locations comprises a first timestamp and data representing a value associated with the input search key, and wherein a remainder of the plurality of locations comprises one or more additional timestamps.

  • Publication number: 20240069809
    Abstract: A memory device includes an interface to communicate with a host, an array of memory cells, and a controller. The controller is configured to access the array of memory cells in response to commands from the host. The controller is further configured to enter an idle time in response to no commands from the host with queue empty, receive a first command from the host, and exit the idle time in response receiving a second command from the host. The controller is further configured to for a plurality of idle times, generate a history indicating a length of each idle time. The controller is further configured to predict the length of a subsequent idle time based on the history.

  • Publication number: 20220359011
    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device comprising a content addressable memory (CAM) block storing a plurality of stored search keys. The memory system further includes a processing device that receives an input search key and identifies, from the plurality of stored search keys in the CAM block, multiple redundant copies of a stored search key that match the input search key. The processing device further determining whether a number of the multiple redundant copies of the stored search key that match the input search key satisfies a threshold criterion. Responsive to the number of the multiple redundant copies of the stored search key that match the input search key satisfying the threshold criterion, the processing device determines a match result for the input search key.
