20150268861 | SCHEDULING REQUESTS IN A SOLID STATE MEMORY DEVICE - An apparatus and method for a memory controller for managing scheduling requests in a solid state memory device. The memory includes a set of units wherein a unit within the set of units is erasable as a whole by a unit reclaiming process resulting in a free unit available for writing data to. The memory controller further includes a first queue for queuing user requests for reading and/or writing data from/to the memory, and a second queue for queuing unit reclaiming requests for executing the unit reclaiming process. A scheduler is provided for selecting user requests from the first queue and unit reclaiming requests from the second queue for execution according to a defined ratio. The defined ratio is a variable ratio, is dependent on the current number of free units, and permits the memory controller to select requests from both the first queue and the second queue. | 2015-09-24 |
20150268862 | MULTIPLE MEMORY RANK SYSTEM AND SELECTION METHOD THEREOF - A multiple memory rank selection method and system assigns, based at least in part on decoding an assignment signal in a second command/address signal, a first terminal of a memory device to receive a first command/address signal and a second terminal of the memory device to receive the second command/address signal or assigns the first terminal of the memory device to receive the second command/address signal and the second terminal of the memory device to receive the first command/address signal. The multiple memory selection method and system decodes a selection signal encoded in the first command/address signal and enables the memory device based at least in part on the assignment signal and the selection signal. | 2015-09-24 |
