A system and related method, the system including control circuitry and memory with a first memory block of a first memory density and a second memory block of a second memory density which is greater than the first memory density. Control circuitry, which is communicatively coupled to the memory, is configured to determine to transfer data from the first memory block to the second memory block, generate parity data based on the data and cause to store the parity data at a parity address corresponding to an available portion of the first memory block. Control circuitry is further to cause to update a look-up table with the parity data address and cause to copy the data from the first memory block to the second memory block.

Flexible raid parity application for memory management

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

An embodiment of a memory controller device includes technology to control access to a memory array which includes a single-level cell region and a multi-level cell region, determine an amount of valid data in a dynamic portion of the single-level cell region at runtime, and adjust a size of the dynamic portion of the single-level cell region at runtime based on the determined amount of valid data in the dynamic portion of the single-level cell region. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
