Multi-tier scheme for logical storage management
View Patent ↗A storage device may include a controller and a memory array including a plurality of dies arranged into a plurality of channels. In some examples, the controller may be configured to define, from the memory array, a plurality of die-sets based on respective chip enable lines associated with the plurality of dies, wherein each die-set of the plurality of die-sets includes at least one die from each of the plurality of channels; define, from a selected die-set of the plurality of die-sets, a plurality of blocksets, wherein each blockset includes a block from each die of the selected die-set; receive a unit of data to be stored; and issue commands that cause the unit of data to be stored in blocks of a selected blockset of the plurality of blocksets.
1. A storage device, comprising:
a memory array including a plurality of dies arranged into a plurality of channels, wherein each of the plurality of dies includes a plurality of blocks; and
a controller configured to:
determine a first quantity of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a first command type, wherein each die-set includes at least one die of the plurality of dies from each of the plurality of channels; and
issue a respective command of the first command type for a blockset in each of a plurality of die-sets up to the determined first quantity of die-sets, wherein each blockset includes a block from each die of the respective die-set.
2. The storage device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
determine a second quantity of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a second command type different from the first command type; and
issue a respective command of the second command type for a blockset in each of a plurality of die-sets up to the determined second quantity of die-sets.
3. The storage device of claim 2 , wherein the commands of the first command type are issued during a first time period and the commands of the second command type are issued during a second time period different from the first time period.
4. The storage device of claim 2 , wherein the determined first quantity of die-sets is different from the determined second quantity of die sets.
5. The storage device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine the first and second quantities of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a power consumption budget for the plurality of dies.
6. The storage device of claim 2 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine the first and second quantities of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a throughput performance target for the storage device.
7. The storage device of claim 2 , wherein the first command type is one of a write command, a read command, or an erase command, and
wherein the second command type is one of a write command, a read command, or an erase command and is different from the first command type.
8. A method, comprising:
determining a first quantity of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a first command type, wherein each die-set includes at least one die of a plurality of dies from each of a plurality of channels; and
issuing a respective command of the first command type for a blockset in each of a plurality of die-sets up to the determined first quantity of die-sets, wherein each blockset includes a block from each die of the respective die-set.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
determining a second quantity of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a second command type different from the first command type; and
issuing a respective command of the second command type for a blockset in each of a plurality of die-sets up to the determined second quantity of die-sets.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the commands of the first command type are issued during a first time period and the commands of the second command type are issued during a second time period different from the first time period.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the determined first quantity of die-sets is different from the determined second quantity of die sets.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second quantities of die-sets that may be concurrently active are determined based on a power consumption budget for the plurality of dies.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first and second quantities of die-sets that may be concurrently active are determined based on a throughput performance target for a storage device.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the first command type is one of a write command, a read command, or an erase command, and
wherein the second command type is one of a write command, a read command, or an erase command and is different from the first command type.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a storage device to perform a method comprising:
determining a first quantity of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a first command type, wherein each die-set includes at least one die of a plurality of dies from each of a plurality of channels; and
issuing a respective command of the first command type for a blockset in each of a plurality of die-sets up to the determined first quantity of die-sets, wherein each blockset includes a block from each die of the respective die-set.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises:
determining a second quantity of die-sets that may be concurrently active based on a second command type different from the first command type; and
issuing a respective command of the second command type for a blockset in each of a plurality of die-sets up to the determined second quantity of die-sets.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the commands of the first command type are issued during a first time period and the commands of the second command type are issued during a second time period different from the first time period.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the determined first quantity of die-sets is different from the determined second quantity of die sets.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the first and second quantities of die-sets that may be concurrently active are determined based on a power consumption budget for the plurality of dies.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the first and second quantities of die-sets that may be concurrently active are determined based on a throughput performance target for the storage device.
21. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 16 , wherein the first command type is one of a write command, a read command, or an erase command, and
wherein the second command type is one of a write command, a read command, or an erase command and is different from the first command type.
