  • Publication number: 20180189144
    Abstract: Disclosed are a memory storing apparatus and method for preventing data loss after power loss. A memory storing method includes: determining a plurality of first user blocks scheduled to write data among a plurality of user blocks in which data is written, based on a recovery time of a mapping table required by a user; writing data in the determined first user blocks; writing a first mapping table in a spare area and a last page of the first user blocks in which the data is written; and switching the first user blocks written in the system page into second user blocks in which the data is completely written when data is written in all the first user blocks and writing a second mapping table for the switched second user blocks in a map page of a map block.

  • Publication number: 20150178193
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for managing flash memory based on recognition of patterns of write-target data are disclosed. A data analysis unit analyzes bit storage patterns that are stored in cells of the flash memory, and a data matching unit matches corresponding alternative patterns to the bit storage patterns based on the results of the analysis of the data analysis unit. According to the present invention, the reliability and durability of NAND flash memory can be improved because a minimum number of “0” bits are stored in a page. Furthermore, the application of the technology is easy and simple because a memory controller can perform management without changes in the structure and cell arrangement of a NAND flash device.

  • Patent number: 8335214
    Abstract: Provided are an interface system and a method of controlling the interface system. The interface system may include a memory, a first processor, a second processor, and an interface unit. The memory may be configured to store received data in packets. The first processor may be configured to analyze a header of each of the packets to obtain analysis information. The second processor may be configured to receive and process a payload of the packet that includes the analyzed header and the payload. The interface unit may be configured to transmit only the payload to the second processor based on the analysis information. Since the interface system and the method may directly transmit only the payload of the packet to the processor without copying the payload to a separate memory, memory usage efficiency and system performance may be improved and power consumption may be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5850512
    Abstract: A bus analyzer used in a multiprocessor computer system having a common system bus includes a bus tester for storing test data used to test the system bus and internal data paths of the bus analyzer. The test data is output to the system bus to initiate a testing operation. A trace memory sequentially receives and stores the test data provided from the system bus. A memory controller controls the trace memory to store the test data received from the system bus in response to a trace signal and interrupt storage of the test data in response to a trigger signal. A test controller generates the trace signal and the trigger signal output to the memory controller, reads the test data stored in the trace memory, and compares the test data read from the trace memory with the test data stored in the bus tester. The bus analyzer of the present invention is capable of independently testing its own internal data paths without signals provided from an external source or additional apparatus.
