Original Abstract Submitted
Various embodiments provide for performing a memory operation, such as a memory block compaction operation or block folding or refresh operation, based on a temperature associated with a memory block of a memory device. For instance, some embodiments provide for techniques that can cause performance of a block compaction operation on a memory block at a temperature that is at least at or higher than a predetermined temperature value. Additionally, some embodiments provide for techniques that can cause performance of a block folding/refresh operation, at a temperature that is at or higher than the predetermined temperature value, on one or more blocks on which data was written at a temperature lower than the predetermined temperature value.
