20120166909 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING DATA RELIABILITY FOR RAID OPERATIONS - A method and apparatus to enable data integrity checking of a block of data while the block of data is being transferred from a volatile memory to a non-volatile storage device is provided. The data integrity checking is performed in conjunction with Direct Memory Access operations and Redundant Array of Independent Disk (RAID) operations. In addition, data integrity checking of syndrome blocks in the RAID is performed during transfers to/from the storage devices in the RAID system and during RAID update and RAID data reconstruction operations. | 06-28-2012 |
20130007573 | EFFICIENT AND SCALABLE CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK CIRCUIT USING GALOIS-FIELD ARITHMETIC - Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatus, and system configurations for cyclic redundancy check circuits using Galois-field arithmetic. | 01-03-2013 |
20130305006 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR REGION ACCESS CONTROL - Techniques and mechanisms for providing access to a storage device of a computer platform. In an embodiment, an agent executing on the platform may be registered for access to the storage device, the agent being allocated a memory space by a host operating system of the platform. Registration of the agent may result in a location in the allocated memory space being mapped to a location in the storage device. In another embodiment, the agent may write to the location in the allocated memory space to request access to the storage device, wherein the request is independent of any system call to the host OS which describes the requested access. | 11-14-2013 |
20140006696 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PHASE CHANGE MEMORY DRIFT MANAGEMENT | 01-02-2014 |
20140082451 | EFFICIENT AND SCALABLE CYCLIC REDUNDANCY CHECK CIRCUIT USING GALOIS-FIELD ARITHMETIC - Embodiments of the present disclosure describe methods, apparatus, and system configurations for cyclic redundancy check circuits using Galois-field arithmetic. | 03-20-2014 |
20140181365 | Techniques to Configure a Solid State Drive to Operate in a Storage Mode or a Memory Mode - Examples are disclosed for configuring a solid state drive (SSD) to operate in a storage mode or a memory mode. In some examples, one or more configuration commands may be received at a controller for an SSD having one or more non-volatile memory arrays. The SSD may be configured to operate in at least one of a storage mode, a memory mode or a combination of the storage mode or the memory mode based on the one or more configuration commands. Other examples are described and claimed. | 06-26-2014 |
20140317337 | METADATA MANAGEMENT AND SUPPORT FOR PHASE CHANGE MEMORY WITH SWITCH (PCMS) - Methods and apparatus related to management and/or support of metadata for PCMS (Phase Change Memory with Switch) devices are described. In one embodiment, a PCMS controller allows access to a PCMS device based on metadata. The metadata may be used to provide efficiency, endurance, error correction, etc. as discussed in the disclosure. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed. | 10-23-2014 |
