Abstract: A flash memory allows a range of charges to be programmed into its cells to represent 8 distinct memory states, which are encoded by 3 bits (upper, middle, lower) of data. A page of memory cells which is programmed or read in parallel yields corresponding upper, middle and lower data pages. In page-by-page schemes, each data page can be programmed and read independently. Each data page has a predetermined set of read points to distinguish between “1” and “0” bits. Prior state encodings have to use different sets of read points for a lower data page depending on whether or not the higher data pages are already programmed, as indicated by maintaining a flag. The present programming and state encoding schemes have invariant read points, independent of the program status of the higher order pages and do not require maintaining a flag, thereby improving read performance.

The method also uses a second hash function to generate a second hash value, and then stores this second hash value along with the data tuple in the memory at the address specified by the first hash value. To retrieve data from the hash-addressed memory, the method of some embodiments receives a search key. The method then uses the first hash function to generate a first hash value from the search key, and then uses this first hash value to identify an address in the hash-addressed memory. At the identified address, the hash-addressed memory stores a second hash value and a data tuple.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing unmapped and unknown states in a storage system. When a first portion of a first medium is determined to be unreachable from any other mediums, the first portion of the first medium may be put into an unmapped state, and its data may be discarded and the corresponding storage locations may be freed. During replication of the first medium to a replica storage array, the state of the first portion of the first medium may be translated from the unmapped state into an unknown state on the replica storage array. If another storage array has the data of the first portion of the first medium, this data may be used to overwrite the first portion of the first medium on the replica storage array, converting the first portion of the first medium from the unknown state into the mapped state.

Abstract: A Processing-In-Memory (PIM) model in which computations related to the POPCOUNT and logical bitwise operations are implemented within a memory module and not within a host Central Processing Unit (CPU). The in-memory executions thus eliminate the need to shift data from large bit vectors throughout the entire system. By off-loading the processing of these operations to the memory, the redundant data transfers over the memory-CPU interface are greatly reduced, thereby improving system performance and energy efficiency. A controller and a dedicated register in the logic die of the memory module operate to interface with the host and provide in-memory executions of popcounting and logical bitwise operations requested by the host. The PIM model of the present disclosure thus frees up the CPU for other tasks because many real-time analytics tasks can now be executed within a PIM-enabled memory itself. The memory module may be a Three Dimensional Stack (3DS) memory or any other semiconductor memory.

Abstract: Memory performance in a computer system that implements large page mappings is improved by dynamically tuning the page scan rate at which a memory sharing module (e.g., in a hypervisor) performs small page scanning operations that identify and exploit potential small page sharing opportunities within large pages. In operation, when free memory is relatively low, the hypervisor adjusts the page scan rate based on a statistical estimate of the percentage of virtual small pages that are mapped to physical large pages that are shareable. In this fashion the hypervisor dynamically tunes the sharing rate to reflect memory usage of applications. Further, unlike conventional approach to page sharing, the hypervisor proactively breaks large pages before resorting to more expensive memory reclamation techniques, such as ballooning and host swapping.
