PRIORITIZATION OF SUCCESSFUL READ RECOVERY OPERATIONS FOR A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17809731 titled 'PRIORITIZATION OF SUCCESSFUL READ RECOVERY OPERATIONS FOR A MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for recovering from read failures in a memory device. Here are the key points:
- The memory device detects a read failure in a specific page type and memory section.
- It performs multiple read recovery operations in a predefined order to try and recover from the failure.
- If one of the recovery operations is successful, the device reorders the sequence of recovery operations to prioritize the successful one.
- The memory device then detects a second read failure in the same page type and memory section.
- It performs read recovery operations in the new order to recover from the second failure.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Memory devices in computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices can benefit from improved read recovery methods.
- Data centers and cloud computing facilities can use this technology to enhance the reliability and performance of their memory systems.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Read failures in memory devices can lead to data loss and system instability. This technology provides a method to recover from such failures and ensure data integrity.
- By prioritizing successful recovery operations, the memory device can optimize its performance and reduce the time required for recovery.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved reliability: The memory device can recover from read failures, reducing the risk of data loss and system crashes.
- Enhanced performance: By prioritizing successful recovery operations, the memory device can recover more efficiently and minimize downtime.
- Increased data integrity: The technology ensures that data stored in the memory device remains intact and can be accessed reliably.
Original Abstract Submitted
In some implementations, a memory device may detect a first read failure associated with a page type and a memory section of the memory device. The memory device may perform multiple read recovery operations in a first order defined by a first sequence of read recovery operations. The memory device may identify a read recovery operation that results in successful recovery from the first read failure. The memory device may reorder the first sequence of read recovery operations to generate a second sequence of read recovery operations that prioritizes the read recovery operation. The memory device may detect a second read failure associated with the page type and the memory section. The memory device may perform one or more read recovery operations to recover from the second read failure in a second order defined by the second sequence of read recovery operations.
