FRAGMENTATION MANAGEMENT FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240201850 titled 'FRAGMENTATION MANAGEMENT FOR MEMORY SYSTEMS
The present disclosure involves configuring a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to manage media fragmentation. The controller receives a file-based optimization (FBO) entry from a host, which includes multiple logical block addresses (LBAs) associated with a file. The controller then accesses a page table that links the LBAs with physical addresses of memory components to determine the read operations needed to access data from these addresses. It computes a regression level for the file based on the read operations relative to the total LBAs included in the entry.
- System component, like a memory sub-system controller, configured for media fragmentation management
- Receives file-based optimization entry with LBAs associated with a file
- Accesses page table linking LBAs with physical addresses of memory components
- Determines read operations required to access data from these addresses
- Computes regression level for the file based on read operations and total LBAs
Potential Applications: - Data storage systems - File optimization tools - Memory management software
Problems Solved: - Efficient management of media fragmentation - Improved file access performance - Optimal utilization of memory components
Benefits: - Enhanced system performance - Reduced data access latency - Improved overall file optimization
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Data Storage Performance with Media Fragmentation Management" This technology can be applied in various industries such as data centers, cloud computing, and digital content delivery services to optimize file access and storage performance.
Questions about Media Fragmentation Management: 1. How does media fragmentation impact file access performance? Media fragmentation can lead to scattered data across memory components, resulting in increased read operations and slower access times.
2. What are the key benefits of implementing media fragmentation management in a system? Implementing media fragmentation management can lead to improved system performance, reduced data access latency, and better overall file optimization.
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects of the present disclosure configure a system component, such as a memory sub-system controller, to provide media fragmentation management. the controller receives, from a host, a file-based-optimization (fbo) entry comprising a plurality of logical block addresses (lbas) associated with a file. the controller accesses a page table that associates the plurality of lbas with respective physical addresses of a set of memory components and determines a first quantity of read operations that need to be performed to read data from the physical addresses of the set of memory components associated with the plurality of lbas. the controller computes a regression level for the file based on the first quantity of read operations relative to a second quantity of lbas included in the plurality of lbas.
