PLANE BALANCING IN A MEMORY SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18651452 titled 'PLANE BALANCING IN A MEMORY SYSTEM
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for plane balancing in a memory system. The memory system selects a memory die to write a set of data, with each memory die containing multiple planes, each with blocks of memory cells. The system determines the availability status of blocks in different planes and writes data to the planes based on block availability.
- Memory system balances data writing across multiple planes in a memory die.
- Data is written based on the availability status of blocks in different planes.
- Balancing data writing helps optimize memory system performance.
- The system excludes planes with limited block availability to ensure efficient data storage.
- This innovation improves data writing efficiency in memory systems.
Potential Applications: - Data centers - Cloud computing - High-performance computing
Problems Solved: - Efficient data writing in memory systems - Optimizing memory system performance
Benefits: - Improved data storage efficiency - Enhanced memory system performance
Commercial Applications: Title: "Efficient Data Writing Technology for Memory Systems" This technology can be used in various commercial applications such as data centers, cloud computing, and high-performance computing to optimize data writing processes and improve overall system performance.
Questions about Plane Balancing in Memory Systems: 1. How does plane balancing in memory systems impact data storage efficiency?
- Plane balancing ensures that data is written to planes with optimal block availability, improving storage efficiency.
2. What are the potential drawbacks of not implementing plane balancing in memory systems?
- Without plane balancing, data may be unevenly distributed across planes, leading to inefficient use of memory resources.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for plane balancing in a memory system are described. A memory system may select a memory die for writing a set of data. The memory die may include a plurality of planes each of which may include a respective plurality of blocks of memory cells. Based on selecting the memory die, the memory system may determine a first plane of the plurality of planes that has a first quantity of blocks with an availability status and a second plane of the plurality of planes that has a second quantity of blocks with the availability status. The memory system may write the set of data to the plurality of planes, excluding at least the first plane, based at least in part on the first quantity of blocks and the second quantity of blocks.
