Abstract

A storage system has NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory), solid-state storage memory, and a processor to perform a method. The method includes allocating virtual units of NVRAM with mapping of the virtual units to physical memory. The method includes writing data having various sizes into allocated first virtual units of memory and into allocated second virtual units of memory. The first virtual units of memory each include a first contiguous physical addressed amount of NVRAM having a first size. The second virtual units of memory each include an amount of NVRAM having a second size. The method includes relocating at least some of the data such that a portion of the allocated second virtual units of memory become available for the allocating.
