Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are disclosed for heuristics associated with programming data in a non-volatile memory (“NVM”). One or more applications can generate information that notifies a system of the amounts of recoverable and unrecoverable new data that will be programmed to an NVM. Based on this information, the system can calculate the amount of new data that needs to be placed in a bulk mode instead of a SLC mode. By utilizing multi-modal modes of an NVM effectively, the system can improve overall performance and reduce the probability of unnecessary garbage collection.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for utilizing multi-modal memory, the method comprising: receiving a command from an application comprising information associated with new data, wherein the information associated with the new data comprises an amount of recoverable new data and an amount of unrecoverable new data; determining an estimated consumption of available space of a non-volatile memory (“NVM”) by the new data and data currently stored in the NVM, wherein the estimated co…
