Abstract
A memory system uses a dynamic RAID scheme to dynamically encode RAID address space geometries. The dynamic RAID scheme solves issues with the algorithmic layout approach and flat virtual address space used in conventional RAID systems. The dynamic RAID scheme can be used for any RAID algorithm and does not require static mapping. In other words, there is no requirement that each strip be located in the same relative location in memory devices and there is no requirement that stripes use the same combination of memory devices.
