METHOD OF OPERATING MEMORY SYSTEM AND MEMORY SYSTEM PERFORMING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240319882 titled 'METHOD OF OPERATING MEMORY SYSTEM AND MEMORY SYSTEM PERFORMING THE SAME
The patent application describes a method of operating a memory system where the size of a data sample associated with host input/output requests and garbage collection is adjusted based on certain conditions being met.
- The first condition is related to free blocks and garbage collection target blocks among memory blocks.
- The data sample includes a downscaled current valid page count ratio and ratios of previous host input/output requests to garbage collection processing.
- A current host input/output request to garbage collection processing ratio is calculated using the data sample.
- Host input/output requests and garbage collection are then performed based on the calculated ratio.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various memory systems to optimize data sample sizes for efficient host input/output requests and garbage collection processes.
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of memory blocks in a memory system. - Optimization of data sample sizes for host input/output requests and garbage collection.
Benefits: - Improved performance and efficiency in memory systems. - Enhanced resource utilization and reduced processing overhead.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Optimized Memory System Management Technology for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be utilized in data centers, cloud computing environments, and storage systems to improve overall system performance and resource utilization.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this technology improve the efficiency of memory systems? - This technology optimizes data sample sizes based on specific conditions, leading to improved performance and resource utilization in memory systems.
2. What are the key factors considered in adjusting the size of the data sample? - The size of the data sample is adjusted based on free blocks, garbage collection target blocks, and various ratios related to host input/output requests and garbage collection processing.
Original Abstract Submitted
in a method of operating a memory system disclosed, whether a first condition is satisfied is determined. the first condition is associated with free blocks and garbage collection (gc) target blocks from among a plurality of memory blocks. in response to the first condition being satisfied, a size of a data sample associated with executions of a host input/output request and gc is adjusted. the data sample is generated based on the adjusted size of the data sample. the data sample includes a downscaled current valid page count (vpc) ratio and the first number of previous host input/output request to gc processing ratios. a current host input/output request to gc processing ratio is calculated based on the data sample. the host input/output request and the gc are performed based on the current host input/output request to gc processing ratio.
