NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE DETERMINING READ RECLAIM, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18170893 titled 'NON-VOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE DETERMINING READ RECLAIM, METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME, AND METHOD OF OPERATING STORAGE DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method of operating a non-volatile memory device that communicates with a storage controller. The method involves receiving a request for a read reclaim determination from the storage controller, performing a read operation to generate distribution information, determining if a read reclaim is required based on the distribution information, and providing the storage controller with a determination result.
- The method involves receiving a request for a read reclaim determination from a storage controller.
- A read operation is performed to generate distribution information based on the request.
- The distribution information is used to determine if a read reclaim is required.
- If a read reclaim is required, a determination result with a first bit value is provided to the storage controller.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Non-volatile memory devices in storage systems
- Data centers and cloud computing environments
- Solid-state drives (SSDs) and flash memory devices
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient management of non-volatile memory resources
- Optimizing read operations and reducing data loss
- Improving overall performance and reliability of storage systems
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced data integrity and reliability
- Improved read performance and efficiency
- Better utilization of non-volatile memory resources
- Reduced risk of data loss and corruption
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of operating a non-volatile memory device, which is configured to communicate with a storage controller includes: receiving a first request indicating a read reclaim determination and including environment information from the storage controller, performing a first on-chip read operation for generating first distribution information based on the first request, determining whether a read reclaim is required based on the first distribution information, and providing the storage controller with a determination result having a first bit value in response to determining that the read reclaim is required.
