TECHNIQUES FOR A FRAGMENT CURSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17633523 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR A FRAGMENT CURSOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes methods, systems, and devices for a fragment cursor.
- A memory system receives write commands for data fragments and stores them in a cache.
- The cursor in the cache is designed to store data fragments smaller than a certain size threshold.
- When a memory management operation occurs, such as power down or data relocation, the cached data fragments are written to a block of memory cells using the cursor.
- The cursor may have a different associated mapping unit compared to other cursors in the memory system.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for techniques for a fragment cursor are described. A memory system may receive one or more write commands, each write command corresponding to a data fragment. The memory device may store the data fragments to a cursor (e.g., a fragment cursor) in a cache upon receiving the write commands, the cursor configured to store data fragments with a size less than a fragment size threshold (e.g., a page). The memory system may detect a memory management operation (e.g., power down, cache synchronization, data relocation, etc.) and write the cached data fragments to a block of memory cells of a memory device using the cursor. In some examples, the cursor may have a different associated mapping unit than other cursors of the memory system.
