Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to multi-activation techniques for wire operations with multiple partial writes. In some embodiments, a memory controller is configured to access data in a memory device that supports partial writes having a first size using read-modify-write operations and non-partial writes having a second size that is greater than the first size. In some embodiments, the memory controller is configured to queue a first write operation having the second size, where the first write operation includes multiple partial writes. In some embodiments, the memory controller is configured to send separate activate signals to the memory device to activate a bank of the memory device to perform different proper subsets of the multiple partial writes. This may allow interleaving of other accesses to a memory bank and merging of writes while waiting for a current activation, in some embodiments.

Abstract: A request to program host data to a memory device of a memory sub-system is received. Redundancy metadata associated with the host data is generated. A determination is made, in view of the received request, whether the host data is valid data or invalid data. In response to a determination that the host data is invalid data, updated redundancy metadata associated with the host data is generated. The updated redundancy metadata indicates that the host data is invalid data. The host data and the updated redundancy metadata is programmed to the memory device.

Abstract: An aliasing module is defined and connected to receive a first bit stream to be transmitted over a data bus from a memory to an external controller of the memory. The aliasing module is defined and connected to alias the first bit stream as a second bit stream and transmit the second bit stream over the data bus in lieu of the first bit stream. A de-aliasing module is defined and connected to receive the second bit stream from the data bus at the external controller. The de-aliasing module is defined and connected to de-alias the received second bit stream back to the first bit stream and provide the first bit stream to the external controller for processing.

Abstract: A method begins by a processing module determining whether to error encode broadcast data. The method continues with the processing module encoding a portion of the broadcast data using an error coding storage dispersal function to produce a set of encoded broadcast data slices, determining whether to compress the set of encoded broadcast data slices for the set of encoded broadcast data slices, and when the set of encoded broadcast data slices is to be compressed, selecting a subset of encoded broadcast data slices of the set of encoded broadcast data slices, when the broadcast data is to be error encoded.

Abstract: The method is for decoding an LDPC encoded codeword, the LDPC code being represented by a bipartite graph between check nodes and variable nodes including first variable nodes and second variable nodes connected to the check nodes by a zigzag connectivity. The method includes updating messages exchanged iteratively between variable nodes and check nodes including a first variable processing phase during which all the messages from the first variable nodes to the check nodes are updated and a check nodes processing phase during which all the messages from the check nodes to the first variable nodes are updated. The check nodes processing phase further includes updating all the messages from the second variable nodes to the check nodes, and directly passing an updated message processed by a check node to the next check node through the zigzag connectivity.
