Storage System and Method for Hybrid Mapping - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17752470 titled 'Storage System and Method for Hybrid Mapping

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of this patent application describes a storage system that has multiple memory mappings to translate data bits into different physical voltage levels in its non-volatile memory. The system allows a host to select a specific memory mapping based on the application or expected workload. The selected memory mapping is then used for memory access operations such as reading or writing data.

  • The storage system has multiple memory mappings to translate data bits into different physical voltage levels.
  • The host can select a specific memory mapping based on the application or expected workload.
  • The selected memory mapping is used for memory access operations.
  • Memory access operations include reading or writing data.


Original Abstract Submitted

A storage system supports several memory mappings that translate data bits into different physical voltage levels in its non-volatile memory. The storage system receives a selection of one of the memory mappings from a host, which makes the selection based on an application or expected workload of the host. The storage system uses the selected memory mapping for a memory access operation, such as a read operation or a write operation.
