A system and related method, including storage circuitry and a control circuitry, which while executing a storage device driver, is to receive at least one instruction of a stream of instructions for the storage device. The control circuitry determines that a hardware buffer of the storage device is storing less than two instructions. In response to the determination that the hardware buffer of the storage device is storing less than two instructions, the control circuitry accesses data associated with an address of the memory of the storage device, wherein the address is predicted based on analysis of the stream of instructions and causes to be stored the data in a buffer of a plurality of buffers. The control circuitry executes an instruction of the stream of instructions using at least the data stored in the buffer.

Methods and systems for software based prefetching for low buffer depth sequential read traffic

This application is directed to data protection in a memory system of an electronic device. The memory system has a first memory block and a second memory block, and each memory block includes one or more respective memory dies. Each memory die of the second memory block is distinct from the one or more respective memory dies of the first memory block. The electronic device stores user data including a plurality of user data items in the first memory block and integrity data including a plurality of integrity data items in the second memory block. Each of the plurality of user data items is configured to be validated based on a respective one of the plurality of integrity data items. The electronic device invalidates the integrity data in the second memory block, and reads the user data from the first memory block independently of the integrity data.
