Methods, systems, and devices for rate adjustments for a memory interface are described. A host system may communicate with a memory system via an interface according to multiple data transfer rates. For example, the host system may configure the interface to operate according to a first rate. The host system may switch the interface from the first rate to a second rate in response to one or more commands from the host system satisfying one or more parameters such as a threshold quantity of data associated with a command, a threshold quantity of issued commands associated with at least the threshold quantity of data, a threshold quantity of issued and unexecuted commands, or any combination thereof. Based on the switching, the host system may communicate with the memory system via the interface in accordance with the second rate.

Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic logical page sizes for memory devices are described. A memory device may use an initial set of logical pages each having a same size and one or more logical-to-physical (L2P) tables to map logical addresses of the logical pages to the physical addresses of corresponding physical pages. As commands are received from a host device, the memory device may dynamically split a logical page to introduce smaller logic pages if the host device accesses data in chunk sizes smaller than the size of the logical page that is split. The memory device may maintain one or more additional L2P tables for each smaller logical page size that is introduced, along with one or more pointer tables to map between L2P tables and entries for larger logical page sizes and L2P tables and entries associated with smaller logical page sizes.

Dynamic logical page sizes for memory devices

Methods, systems, and devices for write buffer extensions for storage interface controllers are described. Apparatuses and methods are presented in which a buffer may be used to temporarily store data from an application if the memory device is in an INACTIVE power mode. This may allow the memory device to remain asleep. The buffer may be positioned on the host device so that the power mode of the memory device may not affect it. That way, data may be stored in the buffer without waking up the memory device. If the memory device is in an ACTIVE power mode, the data that has been temporarily stored in the buffer may be sent to the memory device for storage. During read operations, if the requested data is stored in the buffer, it may be used instead of data in the memory device.

Write buffer extensions for storage interface controllers

Methods, systems, and devices for a read operation using compressed memory are described. An apparatus may include a host system coupled with a non-volatile memory device and a volatile memory device. The host system may store, in the volatile memory device, a compressed copy of data stored in the non-volatile memory device, for example, based on a score assigned to the data. The host system may identify that the compressed copy of the data is stored in the volatile memory device and may transmit a read command to the volatile memory device that includes a logical address associated with a logical block address of the data stored in the non-volatile memory device. The host system may receive the compressed copy of the data from the volatile memory device in response to the read command and may decompress the data.

Read operation using compressed memory

Methods, systems, and devices for power supply control for non-volatile memory are described. A package containing a memory subsystem may include a controller, a volatile memory, and a non-volatile memory. The package may include one or more pins for receiving a supply voltage that may be distributed to the controller, the volatile memory, and the non-volatile memory using one or more power supply rails. The memory subsystem may include one or more switching components along one or more power supply rails to selectively decouple the non-volatile memory from the one or more power supply rails, thereby enabling the non-volatile memory to be powered down separately from the controller and volatile memory. The controller may determine whether to couple or uncouple the non-volatile memory from a power supply rail based on various criteria associated with accessing the non-volatile memory.

Reducing power for memory subsystem and having latency for power delivery network

Methods, systems, and devices for session-based memory operation are described. A memory system may determine that a logical address targeted by a read command is associated with a session table. The memory system may write the session table to a cache based on the logical address being associated with the session table. After writing the session table to the cache, the memory system may use the session table to determine one or more logical-to-physical (L2P) tables and write the one or more L2P tables to the cache. The memory system may use the L2L tables to perform address translation for logical addresses.

Generating and using session tables for session-based memory management

Retrieving content items based on a social distance between a user and content providers. The social distance is determined based on, for example, user interaction with the content providers. The content providers are ranked, for the user, based on the determined social distance. Prior to a request from the user, the content items are pre-fetched based on the ranked content providers and constraints such as storage space, bandwidth, and battery power level of a computing device of the user. In some embodiments, additional content items are retrieved, or retrieved content items are deleted, as a variable-size cache on the computing device fills or changes size.

Pre-fetching content items based on social distance

Recurring appointment items in a calendaring application are synchronized and recorded in a backend Line Of Business (LOB) service. Items marked in the calendaring application for time recording are used to create a recurring bound item with extended properties. A sweeper module scans on every run the mailbox for such recurring bound items. Occurrences of bound recurring appointments, which occur between the last scan and the current scan, are determined and detached from the corresponding recurring series, such that standalone bound items, are created for such occurrences that can be recognized by an LOB application. Entries for bound items are retrieved from a client data store and synchronized it with the backend LOB service through a create, update, or delete operation request.
