Abstract
A computing system includes a memory storage unit, having memory blocks, configured as a memory cache to store values of key-value pairs; and a device control unit, coupled to the memory storage unit, configured to: identify eviction targets from key-value eviction candidates in a key-value registry based on an eviction policy; calculate an associated eviction count of associated eviction candidates within the same instance of the memory blocks as the eviction targets; select an erase block as the memory blocks associated with the highest value of the associated eviction count; and interface with the memory storage unit to perform an erase operation on the erase block.
