  • Publication number: 20230376206
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for performing a flush operation for a write booster buffer of a memory system. The flush operation may include swapping valid blocks in the write booster buffer for invalid blocks in a storage space of the memory system. After swapping the blocks, the memory system may transfer the information from a first type of blocks that were formerly assigned to the write booster buffer to a second type of blocks in the storage space. In such a flush operation, space is made available in the write booster buffer with less latency than it would take to transfer information between blocks, thereby improving the performance of the write booster mode.

  • Publication number: 20230379196
    Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to a method, device and apparatus for communication, and a computer-readable medium. An example of the method includes: conducting, based on a channel response between a transmitter and a receiver, spectral shaping on a first sequence at the transmitter, so as to obtain an intermediate sequence, where the spectral shaping at least partially counters the channel response; remapping the intermediate sequence, so as to obtain a second sequence, where the second sequence has less signal levels than the intermediate sequence; and transmitting the second sequence to the receiver, so as to train an equalizer of the receiver. In this way, the method can accelerate training of the equalizer without sacrificing performance of the equalizer or introducing any additional hardware cost.

  • Publication number: 20230360682
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for mitigating memory die misalignment are described. A memory system may receive a command to write data to a memory device including a memory die. The memory system may determine whether the data indicated by the command (e.g., a first set of data) satisfies a threshold size. If the first set of data satisfies the threshold size, the memory system may determine whether data currently in a write buffer aligns with a boundary of the memory die. For example, depending on the data currently in the buffer, adding the first set of data to the buffer may result in die misalignment for the first set of data. To mitigate die misalignment, the memory system may pad data (e.g., add dummy data) to the write buffer, such that the padding aligns the data with the die boundary.

  • Publication number: 20230359563
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for validity mapping techniques are described. A memory device may use a change log to update a mapping that indicates whether data stored at respective physical addresses is valid. For example, the memory device may receive a command associated with data having a corresponding set of addresses (whether logical block addresses or physical addresses). The memory device may set an entry of the change log based on whether the set of addresses are consecutive. For example, the memory device may identify whether the set of addresses are consecutive and may set a flag in the entry of the change log to indicate whether the addresses are consecutive. Then, the memory device may update one or more entries of the mapping corresponding to the entry of the change log to indicate whether the addresses corresponding to the one or more entries of the mapping store valid data.

  • Publication number: 20230359552
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for memory write performance techniques are described. A memory system may receive a sequence of commands, for example from a host system. Based on a relationship between logical block addresses of the sequence of commands, the memory system may delay performing a memory management operation (e.g., a garbage collection procedure, a power operation, a cache synchronization operation, a data relocation operation, or the like) for a duration. For example, the memory system may determine whether a quantity of write commands in the sequence that include non-consecutive logical block addresses exceeds a threshold. In some cases, the memory system may perform one or more commands in the sequence during the duration. Subsequently (e.g., at the end of the duration), the memory system may perform the memory management operation.

  • Publication number: 20230359551
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for a fragment cursor are described. A memory system may receive one or more write commands, each write command corresponding to a data fragment. The memory device may store the data fragments to a cursor (e.g., a fragment cursor) in a cache upon receiving the write commands, the cursor configured to store data fragments with a size less than a fragment size threshold (e.g., a page). The memory system may detect a memory management operation (e.g., power down, cache synchronization, data relocation, etc.) and write the cached data fragments to a block of memory cells of a memory device using the cursor. In some examples, the cursor may have a different associated mapping unit than other cursors of the memory system.

  • Publication number: 20230350808
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for logical-to-physical (L2P) mapping compression techniques are described. A memory system may use an L2P mapping to map logical addresses to physical addresses of the memory system. The L2P mapping may be a hierarchical L2P mapping divided into multiple levels or subsets that are used to identify a physical address corresponding to a logical address. The memory system may write data to a set of physical addresses that are consecutively indexed and may set a flag in an entry of a second-level of the L2P mapping (e.g., of a three-level L2P mapping) to indicate that the entry is associated with a starting physical address of the consecutively indexed physical addresses. The memory system may subsequently read the data starting at the starting physical address based on the flag (e.g., bypassing reading an entry of a lowest-level of the L2P mapping to determine the physical address).

  • Publication number: 20230342077
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for unmap backlog in a memory system are described. A memory system may be configured to support receiving an unmap command from a host system and signaling, to the host system, an indication that the unmap command has been processed (e.g., handled, acknowledged). In response to the unmap command, the memory system may proceed with various unmap operations, which may include unmapping at least some of the associated addresses after indicating that the unmap command has been processed. For example, a memory system may implement an unmap backlog table to identify sections of addresses that are to be unmapped (e.g., after indicating that the unmap command has been processed). In some examples, the memory system may support various aspects of prioritization between unmap operations (e.g., background unmap operations) and other access operations such as read operations, write operations, or other access operations.
