  • Patent number: 12039193
    Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program are provided for managing memory page updates within non-volatile memory. The apparatus has processing circuitry for performing read and write operations for data to be stored in the non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory is arranged as a plurality of memory pages, where each memory page comprises a plurality of chunks. A non-volatile chunk buffer is used to store data updates for multiple chunks prior to those data updates being made to the data stored in the non-volatile memory. Chunk tracking storage is then used to identify, for each chunk, when current data of that chunk is stored in the non-volatile chunk buffer rather than the non-volatile memory.
