Abstract
The disclosure is related to systems and methods of management of memory. In a particular embodiment, a system is disclosed that comprises a control circuit adapted to compare a second data set to a first data set and to selectively replace the first data set with the second data set without performing an erase operation based on the comparison, wherein the erase operation is not performed when the first data set and the second data set differ only when locations of the second data set include a first logic value corresponding to one or more locations of the first data set that include a second logic value.
