  • Patent number: 11928330
    Abstract: Techniques to update a trim parameter in non-volatile memory during either a manufacturing stage or a post-manufacturing stage are described. Trim parameters may be stored in a register located within the memory device that is inaccessible by a host device during a normal mode of operation. Post-manufacturing updates to trim parameters by the host device may be feasible by creating registers located within the memory device that are accessible to the host device to provide information regarding trim parameter setting updates. The memory device may read the information from the registers accessible to the host device to update trim parameters stored in the register inaccessible by the host device. In this manner, the host device may not have a direct access to the trim parameters but still be able to provide an update to the trim parameters by updating an entry of the registers accessible by the host device.

The first value may be associated with a successful execution of the reset command. The memory device may transmit an indication to a host device based on determining the first value. The host device may determine from the received indication or from the first value stored in the mode register that the first value is associated with the successful execution of the reset command. Thus, the memory device, or the host device, or both may be configured to verify whether the reset operation is successful.

  • Patent number: 11928334
    Abstract: An apparatus controller includes a first communication module, a storage module, a data processing module, and a controller. The first communication module receives from each of one or more apparatuses, operation information indicating the operation state of the apparatus. The storage module stores the operation information in a cumulative manner. The data processing module combines, when values indicated by a plurality of operation information pieces successively received from the apparatus by the first communication module are equal to each other, the plurality of operation information pieces, thereby producing combined operation information. The controller causes, when the data processing module produces the combined operation information, the storage module to store the combined operation information instead of the plurality of operation information pieces.

  • Patent number: 11928335
    Abstract: A system and method for compacting data that uses mismatch probability estimation to improve entropy encoding methods to account for, and efficiently handle, previously-unseen data in data to be compacted. Training data sets are analyzed to determine the frequency of occurrence of each sourceblock in the training data sets. A mismatch probability estimate is calculated comprising an estimated frequency at which any given data sourceblock received during encoding will not have a codeword in the codebook. Entropy encoding is used to generate codebooks comprising codewords for data sourceblocks based on the frequency of occurrence of each sourceblock. A “mismatch codeword” is inserted into the codebook based on the mismatch probability estimate to represent those cases when a block of data to be encoded does not have a codeword in the codebook. During encoding, if a mismatch occurs, a secondary encoding process is used to encode the mismatched sourceblock.

  • Patent number: 11928339
    Abstract: System, method, and circuitry for generating content for a programmable computing device based on user-selected memory regions. Contiguous regions that share memory access attributes are merged, interleaved contiguous regions that share at least one nested attribute are defined into combined regions, and remaining regions are defined as separate independent regions. A memory protection unit (MPU) region size closest to a size of each defined region is identified. If the start address of each region aligns with the address structure of the MPU region size, then those regions are assigned to MPU regions having the MPU region size; otherwise, another MPU size that aligns with the size of the regions is selected and those regions are assigned to MPU regions having that size. Content is generated to configure settings of MPU regions of the programmable computing device for the merged contiguous regions, the combined region, and the independent regions.

  • Patent number: 11928342
    Abstract: To provide more uniform performance levels for solid state drive (SSDs), the static power level used by an SSD in an idle state is measured and used to determine a static power offset for each of the drives. The static power offset is set as a parameter for the SSD and used to offset a received power supply level for use on the drive. For a data storage system of multiple SSDs, a common scaling factor can be used to set the degree to which the static power offset is implemented, allowing for a choice between uniformity of power and uniformity of performance for the SSDs of a data storage system.

  • Patent number: 11928343
    Abstract: A variety of applications can include a memory device having a memory die designed to control a power budget for a cache and a memory array of the memory die. A first flag received from a data path identifies a start of a cache operation on the data and a second flag from the data path identifies an end of the cache operation. A controller for peak power management can be implemented to control the power budget based on determination of usage of current associated with the cache from the first and second flags. In various embodiments, the controller can be operable to feedback a signal to a memory controller external to the memory die to adjust an operating speed of an interface from the memory controller to the memory die. Additional devices, systems, and methods are discussed.

    Abstract: An approach for optimizing storage on a local storage device. The approach identifies a stored or being stored on a user's local storage device. The approach extracts metadata from the media file. The approach searches the user-associated storage locations for a matching media file based on the metadata. If the approach locates the matching media file, then the approach, using artificial intelligence (AI), predicts if the local device storage should be optimized for the media file, then the approach, using AI, stores a link to the matching media file on the local device storage and removes the media file from the local device storage.
