DATA COMPRESSION FOR MAPPING TABLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240345727 titled 'DATA COMPRESSION FOR MAPPING TABLES
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for data compression for mapping tables in a memory system. The system stores mappings between logical block addresses and physical block addresses in a table in volatile memory. Each entry in the table includes a subset of physical block addresses and corresponding logical block addresses. The size and quantity of entries are determined based on dividing the set of physical block addresses by a factor.
- Memory system stores mappings between logical and physical block addresses
- Table stored in volatile memory
- Each entry includes subset of physical block addresses and corresponding logical block addresses
- Size and quantity of entries determined by dividing physical block addresses by a factor

Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for data compression for mapping tables are described. a memory system may store a table that includes mappings between a set of logical block addresses and a set of physical block addresses. the table may be stored to volatile memory of the memory system and each entry may include a subset of physical block addresses and one or more logical block addresses that correspond to the subset of physical block addresses. in some implementations, a quantity of the entries that each include the subset of physical block addresses and the one or more logical block addresses may be determined based on dividing the set of physical block addresses by a factor. similarly, a size of the entries may be determined based on dividing the set of physical block addresses by the factor.
