STORAGE SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD OF STORAGE CONTROLLER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17939021 titled 'STORAGE SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD OF STORAGE CONTROLLER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a storage system that includes a non-volatile memory (NVM) device and a storage controller. The storage controller receives a write command and data from a host and controls the NVM device to write the data in the memory cell array.
- The storage controller determines a memory region of the memory cell array where the data will be written.
- It clusters a group of word lines based on feature information of the word lines.
- It rearranges the access order of the word lines in groups according to the feature information.
- It accesses the word lines in the rearranged order to write the data in the memory region.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in various storage systems, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and other non-volatile memory-based storage devices.
- It can improve the efficiency and performance of data writing operations in these storage systems.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of inefficient data writing in non-volatile memory devices.
- By rearranging the access order of word lines based on their features, it optimizes the writing process and improves overall performance.
Benefits
- Improved efficiency and performance in data writing operations.
- Enhanced reliability and durability of non-volatile memory devices.
- Increased lifespan of storage systems by reducing unnecessary write operations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A storage system includes a non-volatile memory (NVM) device, having a memory cell array, and a storage controller. The storage controller receives a write command and data from a host and controls the NVM device to write the data in the memory cell array. Additionally, the storage controller determines a memory region of the memory cell array in which the data will be written, clusters a plurality of word lines into a plurality of groups on the basis of feature information of the plurality of word lines, rearranges an access order in units of groups according to the feature information, and accesses the word lines in the rearranged order to write the data in the memory region.
