Abstract
Systems, apparatus and methods are provided for using a partial logical-to-physical (L2P) address translation table for multiple namespaces to perform address translation. An exemplary embodiment may provide a method comprising: receiving a request for a first logical data address (LDA) that belongs to a first namespace (NS); searching the first NS in an entry location table (ELT) for all namespaces whose L2P entries always reside in memory; determining that the first NS is not in the ELT; searching a cache of lookup directory entries of recently accessed translation data units (TDUs) for a first TDU containing a L2P entry for the first LDA; determining that there is a cache miss; retrieving the lookup directory entry for the first TDU from an in-memory lookup directory and determining that it is not valid; reserving a TDU space for the first TDU; and generating a load request for the first TDU.
