MEMORY SYSTEM STORING MANAGEMENT INFORMATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18645697 titled 'MEMORY SYSTEM STORING MANAGEMENT INFORMATION AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

Simplified Explanation: The memory system described in the patent application includes a management-information restoring unit that detects short breaks in a NAND memory by analyzing pre-logs and post-logs. When a short break is identified, the unit restores management information using selected logs and performs recovery processing on all write-once blocks in the memory.

  • The management-information restoring unit detects short breaks in a NAND memory by analyzing pre-logs and post-logs.
  • It restores management information using selected logs after identifying a short break.
  • Recovery processing is applied to all write-once blocks in the memory to ensure data integrity.

Key Features and Innovation:

  • Detection of short breaks in a NAND memory using pre-logs and post-logs.
  • Restoration of management information based on selected logs.
  • Recovery processing on all write-once blocks in the memory for data integrity.

Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various data storage systems where data integrity is crucial, such as in enterprise storage solutions, cloud storage services, and data centers.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures timely detection and restoration of short breaks in NAND memory.

Original Abstract Submitted

A memory system includes a management-information restoring unit. The management-information restoring unit determines whether a short break has occurred referring to a pre-log or a post-log in a NAND memory. The management-information restoring unit determines that a short break has occurred when the pre-log or the post-log is present in the NAND memory. In that case, the management-information restoring unit determines timing of occurrence of the short break, and, after selecting a pre-log or a post-log used for restoration, performs restoration of the management information reflecting these logs on a snapshot. Thereafter, the management-information restoring unit applies recovery processing to all write-once blocks in the NAND memory, takes the snapshot again, and opens the snapshot and the logs in the past.
