One dynamic task scheduling method includes: receiving a task, wherein the task comprises a kernel and a plurality of data items to be processed by the kernel; dynamically partitioning the task into a plurality of sub-tasks, each having the kernel and a variable-sized portion of the data items; and dispatching the sub-tasks to a plurality of computing devices of a heterogeneous computing system. Another dynamic task scheduling method includes: receiving a task, wherein the task comprises a kernel and a plurality of data items to be processed by the kernel; partitioning the task into a plurality of sub-tasks, each having the kernel and a same fixed-sized portion of the data items; and dynamically dispatching the sub-tasks to a plurality of computing devices of a heterogeneous computing system.

A wear leveling limit and/or an overall erase count threshold used for activating wear leveling in a non-volatile memory may be adjusted by determining a stage according to a highest erase count, and determining the wear leveling limit and/or the overall erase count threshold corresponding to the stage. Wear leveling may then be performed according to the wear leveling limit and/or the overall erase count threshold.

Method of performing wear leveling with variable threshold

A flash memory system includes a path selector to determine to write to a non-volatile memory, a volatile memory or both the non-volatile memory and the volatile memory when the flash memory system is to write data. A record is stored in the non-volatile memory which is updated the status of the non-volatile memory after each one or more writing operations. When the flash memory system is powered on after a power loss, it could be recovered to a command executed prior to the power loss or to any checkpoint prior to the power loss by using the record.

The block groups of a multiple data channel flash memory storage device are detected for defective blocks. The block group containing any defective blocks is divided into subgroups, each of which contains only defective blocks or only good blocks. The subgroups containing only good blocks are selected to establish a new block group having the same amount of blocks as that of the original block groups.
