Abstract: Dynamic program caching reduces latency of a program operation on multi-level cell (MLC) memory having at least three pages and programmable with multiple threshold voltage levels, such as a Triple Level Cell (TLC) NAND. A controller determines that the program operation can be initiated without loading all pages into the memory. In response, the NAND loads a first page and then executes portions of the program operation in parallel, at least in part, with loading subsequent pages. The NAND behavior is modified to monitor data loading completion times, to copy pages from a cache register to a data register as needed, and to resume program operation if a shutdown occurs. The portions of the program operation include a program prologue operation and a pulse verify loop for the first voltage level (L1) of the MLC memory.

Abstract: Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure discussed herein may be used to facilitate the authorization of services between service providers and other users (e.g. customers of the service provider) with accounts on a social network. Unlike conventional authorization systems, embodiments of the present disclosure allow authorizations to occur dynamically at any time, regardless of the physical locations of the service provider and the customer. Embodiments of the present disclosure can also provide service providers and customers information on authorization requests on demand.
